Decision Maker: Planning, Employment, Economy & Regeneration Cabinet Member Meeting

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) came into force in April 2010. It allows local authorities to raise funds from developers undertaking new building projects in their area. CIL can be used to fund a wide range of infrastructure that is needed as a result of development. To implement CIL a charging schedule must be produced setting out CIL rates in the area. The charging schedule is part of the local development framework alongside the City Plan. The report provides a progress report on the production of CIL.

Decision:

2.1 That the Cabinet Member for Planning, Employment, Economy & Regeneration approves the production of a Community infrastructure Levy charging schedule and that this be brought forward for consultation alongside the production of the City Plan with a view to adopting the charging schedule as council policy.

Reasons for the decision:

In the absence of CIL, the amount of money that would be received from development in the City would be restricted to mitigating the direct impact through developer contributions (S.106).
