Urgent Update

Agenda Item 18 - Strategic CIL Assessments & Spend

This urgent update comprises modifications to the recommended projects in the Report agreed by the Planning and Infrastructure Policy and Advisory Committee on 7th June 2023.

1)  1.9  M20 Junction 7 Upgrade - KCC

 

KCC have received more in S106 funding from developers towards the scheme than originally identified. Therefore, the original amount of CIL funding recommended would be reduced from £1,897,726 (rounded up to £1,900,000) reduced to £1,836,729

 

KCC have identified their revised S106 funds and CIL amount requested;

 

Project Cost

 

 £ 6,621,610          

Revised S106 funds    

-£ 4,784,881 (£2,250,554 received + £2,534,327 final payment to be received on Sutton Road S106 on 300 Occupation – as of June 2023 172 Occupations)               

 

Revised CIL amount requested

=£ 1,836,729  (£60,997 less than previously identified by KCC)

 

 

2)  1.12 –Linton Crossroads - KCC

 

KCC have provided additional justification in their bid in the form of an accident/incident records at the junction (Appendix 1 and 2 attached) which are self-evident. This junction has the second highest number of collisions compared to 92 other 4-arm signal-controlled junctions on A and B roads in Kent and the junction has also recently appeared on a list of high-risk junctions.

3)  1.16 St Faith’s Community Centre– Ringlestone Development Group

 

·         The applicant has requested an additional £100,000 CIL funds as the build costs have increased by £465k since their application was submitted May 2022.

·         MBC proposes supporting the project with a further £50,000 from the Springfield Mill S106 to be secured by way of a variation to the S106 in lieu of the community space in the Rag Room.  MBC have advised the owner Harrisons/Redrow they would support a variation to the S106 to this effect and MBC have been informed this will be submitted shortly.

·         MBC propose awarding an extra £50,000 CIL money in addition to the £200k originally requested as the CIL fund has the savings from the M20 project.
