1.3 That the CIL Business Plan which includes all those valid CIL Bids where offers of other sources of funding have been made for projects as part of the CIL process such that the value of that original CIL Bid is reduced be noted and endorsed.
Reason for Decision: Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) monies have been collected since the implementation of CIL on the 11th April 2016. The CIL Expenditure Framework adopted in April 2018 requires the production of a CIL Business Plan for each District which contains decisions for Cabinet to make or note on CIL Bids for CIL expenditure. These decisions relating to the expenditure of CIL monies form the one of the ways which necessary infrastructure supporting growth is delivered.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected: There is a diverse spectrum of approaches to CIL expenditure across the country from Unitary Authorities who have absorbed CIL into their individual Capital Programmes to others who ringfence all funds to be spent locally. A range of different approaches was identified in Appendix A of the Framework for CIL Expenditure report provided to Cabinet’s on the 5th and 8th of February 2018 and discussed in full during the workshops with the Joint Member advisory panel. Members however adopted the documents set out in paragraph 1.1 above by Council decision in April 2018.
Any Declarations of Interest declared: Councillor Flatman declared a non-pecuniary interest in this item, in relation to M02-18 as the Ward Member. Councillor Brewster declared a non-pecuniary interest in relation to M05-18 as the Ward Member.
Any Dispensation Granted: None
Minutes:
Councillor Horn, the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Planning, introduced report MCa/18/29 and moved the recommendation which was seconded by Councillor Wilshaw.
A concern was raised as to at what point the Ward Councillor or other Councillors were included. It was felt Councillors should be involved sooner rather than later in terms of helping parishes with the process and have the discussions. The Corporate Manager for Infrastructure explained community support for projects were important. At this point in time only valid applications were published and the consultation occurs for 21 days. It was noted there would be a review of the process and improvements made in readiness for bid round 2.
The amount of work involved for the team was queried and it was noted the community team did help with early community engagement. Work was collaboratively with communities and the leisure advisor.
The Cabinet Member for Planning explained a review would be conducted by the Member Review Panel which would comprise of Councillors Horn, Brewster and Stringer.
It was hoped in respect of the tight timescales that resources across all teams would be utilised.
It was RESOLVED:-
(1) That the CIL Expenditure Business Plan and accompanying technical assessments of the CIL Bids forming Appendices A and B and which included decisions on valid Bids for Cabinet to make and those for Cabinet to note and endorse be approved as follows: -
