Minutes:

The Committee considered approving the Draft Charging Schedule, Draft Regulation 123 List and Draft Instalments Policy for consultation under Regulation 16 of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations 2010 (as amended).  They also considered instructing officers to commence work on the potential options for the Community Infrastructure governance and administrative arrangements.

 

The Principal Planning Officer introduced the report and explained the urgent update outlining amendments to the report which included proposed consultation dates in the Draft Charging Schedule and amendments to the time table included in the agenda document as a result of the suggested dates.

 

The officer went on to explain the key purpose for the document and its relationship with the Local Plan.

 

The Committee were advised that Government instigated a review of the CIL but it was too early to say if there were any implications for the Maidstone Borough Council (MBC) CIL.  Officers would monitor the results of the review and report back to the Committee regarding any implications on MBC’s CIL.

 

It was pointed out that the Kent Association of Local Councils only met every three months and early engagement with them on the governance arrangements for the CIL should be considered to avoid any delay with the CIL timetable.

 

The Committee were informed that the figures shown on Appendix D of the report, CIL: Funding Gap Analysis (June 2016) were gathered through consultation with bus companies and through the transport evidence collected for the Local Plan and the Infrastructure Delivery Plan.  It was explained that the figures were indicative to show there was an aggregate funding gap.  The details were yet to be decided and additional strategic transport schemes could be included at a later date.

 

The Committee heard that schemes from the Walking and Cycling Strategy could be included in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan once costed information for the schemes was available.  The list of schemes in the CIL were exclusively ones potentially eligible for CIL funding not S106 funding.

 

Decision Made

 

1.  That the Draft Charging Schedule, Draft Regulation 123 List and Draft Instalments Policy, as amended by the Urgent Update Report dated 12 July 2016, be approved for consultation under Regulation 16 of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended).
