17.    Notice of Motion - Community Infrastructure Levy

 

 

Notice of the following motion has been given by Councillor Perry:

 

The Council has agreed the introduction of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), which is due to come into effect later this year.  However, the detail of how it would work in practice and the governance arrangement were not known at the time.

 

The introduction of CIL will fundamentally impact every community in the Borough in setting the mitigation for local communities as a result of planned development.  We therefore request and require that the Strategic Planning, Sustainability and Transportation Committee receive an additional report on the Council’s planning for this change.  This would enable the Strategic Planning, Sustainability and Transportation Committee to conduct an in-depth consideration of the practical application of CIL prior to implementation; and if it considers it necessary, make further recommendations to the Council.

 

It is important that all Members, Parish Councils and residents across the Borough are aware of the steps being taken to make sure CIL is introduced successfully.
