RESOLVED to RECOMMEND to Council that:
1. The CIL Advisory Board Terms of Reference as set out at Annexe 1, are approved.
2. The draft evaluation and scoring framework for assessment of bids for funding from the Strategic CIL Fund as set out at Annexe 2, is agreed.
3. The Strategic CIL Fund is ‘bottom-sliced’ to create a Community CIL Fund of 10% of the Strategic CIL Fund receipts, for funding low-value but desirable community infrastructure projects on application from parish councils, with priority being given to bids from parish councils with relatively low Neighbourhood CIL Fund receipts.
4. The delegation to the Executive to approve bids for allocation of Strategic CIL Funding, on the recommendation of the CIL Advisory Board is subject to an upper limit of £2.5m, above which approval reverts to Council.
5. Delegated authority is given to the CIL Advisory Board to propose revisions to the governance arrangements that would be subject to the usual scrutiny process and an annual report to the Executive and Council.
[This matter is recommended to Council for decision and is not subject to the call-in procedure.]
[Reason: to approve
the governance arrangements for allocation of CIL receipts to
specific projects to enable the delivery of infrastructure that
will support and mitigate impact of development in the Borough over
the Local Plan period.]
