Minutes:

The CIL Project Officer introduced the report and stated that a total of £469, 000 had been collected through 15 developer contributions across 14 separate Section 106 agreements

 

The contributions were ranked by spend by date within appendix 1 to the report. For the projects coded in red, the Council had met with the infrastructure providers to request an update on the respective projects’ commencement alongside a commitment to spend the Section 106 monies. It was made clear that the providers would lose the money if it remained unused. The meetings had led to a better understanding between the two parties, as for example, the Clinical Commissioning Group and Maidstone Parks would not request the money until a scheme had commenced. It was noted that Section 106 monies could not always be spent within the agreed time frame, with projects and priorities often subject to change. 

 

In response to questions, the Head of Planning and Development explained that the Maidstone East and Sutton Valence Medical Centres from the CCG were future projects, known as ‘pipeline projects’, and had been included for information purposes. The Officers were thanked for the work undertaken.

 

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
