As per
the approved CIL governance arrangements, and in relation to the
Strategic CIL Bidding Cycle 2021/22, the Cabinet is delegated to
approve projects for the allocation of the Strategic CIL
Funding.
Four
infrastructure projects were recommended for Strategic CIL funding:
Linton Crossroads; Junction 7 of the M20; Heather House community
facilities; and St Faith’s Community Centre. These have all
been subject to an external moderation report by Turley consultancy
(Appendix 1 of the report) and internal officer preliminary
evaluation (Appendix 2 of the report). Appendix 3 of the report
sets out all the meetings held by the CIL Steering
Board.
The
decision made by Cabinet on 26 July 2023 was subject to call-in at
the Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 15 August 2023 and had been
amended following reconsideration of the decision.
