The Cabinet has

a)  approved the statement on the infrastructure projects or types of infrastructure which the Council intends will be, or may be, wholly or partly funded by Community Infrastructure Levy stated in paragraph 2.5 (of the report now submitted) in the Infrastructure Funding Statement; and

b)  delegated authority to the Chief Planning Officer, in consultation with the Executive Councillor for Strategic Planning, to make any final amendments to the Infrastructure Funding Statement, if necessary, prior to publication.

The Cabinet considered a report by the Chief Planning Officer (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) that required agreement on the Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) 2022/2023 and the update on the infrastructure delivery during this time (to 31 March 2023) and statement required in relation to projects that will or may be, wholly or partly, funded by Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). The main points of the discussions on the report may be summarised as follows:

The Cabinet noted that the District Council has been a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging authority since May 2012. Under the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended), a CIL contribution receiving authority such as the District Council is required to publish an annual Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) by no later than 31st December including a statement on the infrastructure projects or types of infrastructure which the Council intends will be, or may be, wholly or partly funded by the CIL, report about CIL on matters specified in the regulations and  report about planning obligations specified in the regulations

The IFS in this report covers the period 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023 and provides detail on how the Council is delivering the Corporate Plan to Do: Enable; Influence and the Local Plan with particular regard to infrastructure to enable growth. In noting the contents of the IFS detailed at Appendix 1, commented on the infrastructure delivery in the reporting year and noted the statement on future projects that may be supported by CIL, the Cabinet  

RESOLVED

(a)  that the statement on the infrastructure projects or types of infrastructure which the Council intends will be, or may be, wholly or partly funded by CIL stated at para 2.5 of the report now submitted in the Infrastructure Funding Statement be approved; and

(b)  that the Chief Planning Officer, in consultation with the Executive Councillor for Strategic Planning, be authorised to make any final amendments to the IFS, if necessary, prior to publication.
