The Principle Planning Officer informed the Committee that the Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) showed a snapshot of the infrastructure requirements needed to deliver the adopted Local Plan.  The report proposed two options for revisions to the Regulation 123 List, to ensure clarity.  Option A excluded Lenham Primary School from Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding, while Option B outlined that the Lenham Primary School was to be funded from CIL monies and was therefore not to be funded by S106 monies.

The Chairman read a statement on behalf of Councillor J Sams.

Mrs Prendergast spoke on this item.

In response to questions by the Committee, Officers responded that:

·  CIL funding was non-negotiable, while S106 funding was negotiable.

·  The document included in the report at Appendix 2 was the draft IDP, and any comments by Councillors were to be submitted via email, ahead of the IDP being approved later in the year.

RESOLVED: That the proposed revision to the Regulation 123 List to include 1FE expansion of Lenham Primary School within the exclusions list (Option A, as per Appendix 3) be agreed for a statutory six week public consultation exercise.

Voting: Unanimous
