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

The Executive received a report which sought approval to implement and apply a Community Infrastructure (CIL) “Infrastructure Payments” document.  This was required so as to allow the delivery of infrastructure by others where considered to be beneficial.  The report also allowed for the transfer of an element of the, yet to be received CIL receipts, from the Sandrock development to Devon County Council to deliver part of a strategic cycle route.

RESOLVED that Executive approves the production of a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) ‘Infrastructure Payments’ Document, and delegates authority to the Director to develop and finalise the content of the document in discussion with the Leader of the Council and Portfolio Holder for City Planning & Development and subsequently to issue the document.

RECOMMENDED that Council approves the transfer of up to a maximum of £375,000 of the CIL receipts from the Sandrock development at Monkerton (application reference: 17/1320/FUL) to Devon County Council, to address the fact that the section of the strategic cycle link between the Monkerton strategic allocation and city centre, which passes through the site, must effectively be paid for by the County Council. Such funds are not to be paid to Devon County Council until they have been received in relation to the Sandrock Development at Monkerton by the Council. Authority to transfer the funds to be delegated to the Service Lead City Development in consultation with the Leader of the Council.
