(Report of Director of
Planning, Housing and Environmental Health)
 
The report outlined
the statutory requirement under regulation 121A for the Brough
Council to publish an annual Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS)
and sought approval to publish the annual IFS, attached at Annex 1,
and the associated documents outlining S106 contributions secured,
allocated and spent where appropriate over the monitoring period of
2022/23.
 
Particular reference was made to the introduction of
a newly proposed Infrastructure Levy, for which a response had been
issued to the consultation and a decision was awaited from the
central government.
 
Members welcomed
the report, although disappointment had been expressed towards the
failing of the Kent County Council in meeting certain delivery
timeframes.
 
With regard to the possibility of repurposing S106
contribution towards alternative projects, Members noted that the
developer contribution had to be agreed to directly mitigate the
impact arising from the development and any subsequent alteration
of its use would be subject to further agreement of the developer
via variation.
 
Following
consideration by the Housing and Planning Scrutiny Select
Committee, the Cabinet Member for Transformation and Infrastructure
resolved that:
 

(1)       
the Infrastructure Funding Statement 2022/23, attached at Annex 1,
and the associated documents, attached at Annex 2, be endorsed and published by the end of December
2023.
