DECISION
TAKEN

RESOLVED:
(unanimous)
Cabinet
agreed:

a)   
The public consultation of the CIL Draft Charging
Schedule and the Instalments Policy;

b)   
That in the event of there being no changes to the
charging schedule as a result of the consultation, delegated
authority be given to the Assistant Director of Planning, in
conjunction with the Executive Member for Planning, to submit the
Community Infrastructure Levy charging schedule and accompanying
evidence base for examination; and

c)    
That in the event of there being no changes to the
charging schedule as a result of the examination, delegated
authority be given to the Assistant Director of Planning, in
conjunction with the Executive Member for Planning, to adopt the
Community Infrastructure Levy charging schedule.
 
Reason for the
decision
In order to
implement CIL the Council must follow a series of steps set out in
the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended in 2019). CIL regulations now
require that only one round of consultation on proposed levy
charges is conducted as opposed to the previously required two
rounds (Preliminary and Draft). Welwyn Hatfield’s first
consultation was a preliminary consultation, which would now no
longer be required.
