The Head of Planning and
Development introduced the report and stated that the Council had
collected £1.4 million in strategic Community Infrastructure
Levy (CIL) receipts up until the 31 March 2021. It was proposed
that a CIL Bidding Prospectus be introduced to allow infrastructure
providers, such as Kent County Council, to submit funding bids to
the Council in undertaking infrastructure works.
It was confirmed that whilst
any infrastructure delivery person, body or organisation could
submit a bid for strategic CIL funding, the applications likely to
score highly were those that focused on the provision of critical
infrastructure schemes such as those outlined within the
Infrastructure Delivery Plan.
The Committee expressed support
for the prospectus proposed.
RESOLVED: That
1.
The Strategic Community Infrastructure Levy Bidding
Prospectus 2022-2025 be published in order to invite bids for the
Community Infrastructure Levy monies collected to date, with those
sums expected to be collected by March 2025; and
2.
Delegated authority be given to the Head of Planning
and Development as the appropriate officer to tidy up grammatical
and typographical errors that do not change the meaning of the
document attached at appendix 1 to the report.
