Decision details

Agreed that further work be progressed with partners through the Huntingdon Strategic Partnership to develop the framework and draft business plan, to take forward the next stages required in the Governance process; requested the Head of Planning and Housing Strategy to liaise with the Heads of Finance and of Legal and Democratic Services to agree draft procedural and management protocols; and requested a further report to be submitted to the Cabinet as procedural and management protocols become clearer.

Planning authorities are able to raise funds from development in order to pay for the infrastructure that is needed – this is through the Community Infrastructure Levy.  Attached to the report was a proposed CIL governance structure which required approval to enable it to be taken to the next stage.
