On 7 March 2017 the Executive considered the report of the Strategic Director, Place (Executive Document “BN”) explaining that the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is intended as a means of contributing to the funding of infrastructure required to support growth in the District and deliver the policies and proposals in the Local Plan, including the Core Strategy and other Development Plan Documents. It replaces part of the system of Planning Obligations (Section 106 Agreements), the scope of which has been restricted since 6 April 2015 with regard to pooling of developer contributions. The CIL will help to meet the District’s priorities by generating funding to provide infrastructure while being set at appropriate rates that will continue to attract investment, create jobs, and deliver new housing.
