Decision details

To issue for public consultation

Recommendation from the meeting of the Cabinet Housing and Planning Panel on 16 March 2017 seeking agreement to the Draft Charging Schedule and Initial Draft Regulation 123 List for six weeks of public consultation. 

(1)          The Decision Taken

RESOLVED:

That the CIL Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule and Initial Draft Regulation 123 List be agreed for six weeks of public consultation.

(2)          Reasons for the Decision

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) was a locally set planning charge which local authorities could choose to implement to raise contributions from new housing and other development towards the delivery of necessary supporting infrastructure.

In accordance with the Council’s Local Development Scheme, which set out a work programme relating to the preparation of the Local Plan, a CIL Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule had been prepared for public consultation.

The Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule was the first statutory stage of consultation required in respect of CIL. The consultation would set out the type of development which would be liable for the levy, the proposed charging rates and the types of infrastructure that the levy would contribute to.

(Note: There were no declarations of interest by a Member(s) in respect of the matter decided).
