Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Principal Project Manager Strategic Infrastructure.

The Executive received a report which sought to initiate a review of the Council’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging schedule.  It was noted that the current charging schedule had been introduced in December 2013.  As such, it was felt prudent to start this process now, as it was likely to be at least 18 months before any changes could be introduced, due to the processes which needed to be followed.  During discussion, Members requested that this be the matter of a Members’ Briefing which would include confirmation as to whether section 106 agreements could be effective in certain circumstances.

RECOMMENDED that Council approves:-

(1)           The initiation of a review of the CIL Charging Schedule which was attached as an Appendix to the report presented to the meeting; and

(2)           The allocation of a budget of up to £75,000 in order to instruct Consultants to review the Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule.
