That is it recommended to Council to:-
(1) approve, in principle, the terms of reference of the Grants Panel led by Exeter Community Forum;
(2) welcome future recommendations from the Grants Panel as to how to spend the neighbourhood portion of the CIL and the New Homes Bonus taking account of the availability of funds;
(3) require further consultation as appropriate on the future review of the purpose, function and outcomes of grants awarded to ensure that the panel is working effectively and in the interests of both the Council and Exeter Community Forum;
(4) through the Community Involvement and Inclusion Officer, the Council retains accounting responsibilities in relation to the neighbourhood portion of the CIL; and
(5) appoint the appropriate Portfolio Holder to serve on the Panel as the Council’s representative.

Reason for Decision:
|
to enable the spend of the neighbourhood portion of the CIL following consideration of community recommendations, and thereby the implementation of the Exeter Community Strategy. The recommendations also reflect the need for the Council to remain accountable for the spend of CIL monies. |
