The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge per square metre applied to most new development. The charge is applied to raise funding to contribute to the delivery of infrastructure to support development.

It is now necessary to adopt the CIL charging schedule to ensure the Council receives adequate funding for much needed infrastructure across the borough.  

The Pre-Decision Scrutiny Questions and officer responses were noted.

DECISION

1.    To allow all relevant reporting and associated actions to take place for the full Council to formally adopt the new CIL Charging Schedule in accordance with The Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010, Regulation 25.

2.    To note that there have been some minor amendments made subsequent to the examination in public (in respect of student housing and some minor errors in the funding gap report). These amendments are not substantial or affect the need for a Charging Schedule.
