Issue - meetings

The Planning Projects and Delivery Manager presented the report outlining the response to the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) 123 List review, setting out the 2019 Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) and the Annual CIL Monitoring Report for approval.

The response to the CIL 123 List changes had over two thirds of respondents in support of the list and it was recommended for approval.  Appendix 3 to the report set out the IDP schemes and RAG rated them.  10% were Red, 50% Amber, and 40% Green.  The annual monitoring report was a requirement and had to be published by 31 December 2019.  The receipts from April – September 2019 would show in next year’s report.

A question was raised over a potential democratic deficit in the process as to how members in non-parished areas could not get involved when in the process when Parishes could.

The Committee discussed ways that Kent County Council could feed their requirements for the provision of waste sites into the CIL process in order to get them funded.  It was agreed that the best route was for this issue to be raised at the Kent Waste Partnership and agreed that the Chairman of Communities, Housing and Environment should be requested to raise this at the next meeting of the partnership as the Council’s representative.

RESOLVED:  That

1.  The outcome of the Regulation 123 List review consultation be noted;

2.  The updated Regulation 123 List (Appendix 2) be agreed for publication;

3.  The final 2019 Infrastructure Delivery Plan (Appendix 4) be approved for publication; and

4.  The Community Infrastructure Levy monitoring report (Appendix 5) be approved for publication.

This item was adjourned to 19 November 2019.
