Issue - meetings

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.
