Recommendation

That the Executive recommends to Council to:

1.         adopt the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule  and supporting documents, including the Regulation 123 list, policies on instalments, phasing and payment in kind;

                                                          

2.         agree that the CIL Charging Schedule and supporting documents will be implemented and effective on 1st March 2019; and,

Minutes:

44.1     Cllr Storey, Portfolio Holder for Planning Policy and Customer Services, informed the Executive that following the examination of the Council’s Charging Schedule in the summer, the Inspector’s report had been received on 1 October 2018.

 

44.2     The Examiner had concluded that the Council’s Charging Schedule was an appropriate basis for the collection of CIL and there was sufficient evidence to support the levy rates without putting overall development of the area at risk. The proposed implementation date of 1 March 2019 would give the Council time to prepare for the implementation and to liaise with the development industry. The lead-in time was in line with the average time allowed by other councils that have already implemented CIL.

 

44.3     The adoption of the CIL Charging Schedule, and the collection of CIL contributions from developers would make an important contribution towards the funding of infrastructure in the area to support new development.

 

The Executive RESOLVED to

 

RECOMMEND that Council:

 

1.         adopts the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule and supporting documents, including the Regulation 123 List, policies on instalments, phasing and payment in kind;

 

2.         agrees that the CIL Charging Schedule and supporting documents will be implemented and effective on 1 March 2019; and,

 

3.         agrees delegated powers to the Head of Planning Services in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Planning, for future changes to the Regulation 123 List.

 

[Reason: to enable the Council to receive contributions from developers to use within the area for infrastructure improvements.]
