Minutes:
Background:
This report provided details of the forthcoming Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), which would allow local authorities in England and Wales to raise funds from developers undertaking new building projects. The money could be used to fund infrastructure required within the Council’s area.
In January 2012 Cabinet approved work commencing to enable the Council to achieve CIL Charging Authority status and this report sought approval to commence consultation on a preliminary draft charging schedule.
The CIL proposed rates for different types of development, which were set out at Appendix 2, and a timetable towards the proposed adoption of a CIL Charging Schedule was attached at Appendix 1 to the report.
It was noted that a Diversity Impact Assessment screening form had been undertaken on the proposals (attached at Appendix 3 to the report). This would be reviewed during the consultation process.
