Decision

Summary of
Decision
The
Cabinet Member for City Management and Air Quality has approved
the
Neighbourhood CIL bid for Elgin Avenue Central Island
Improvements
(Eastern
Area), the details of which are set out in this report.
 
Reasons for
Decision
The Cabinet Member for City
Management and Air Quality has made this decision to ensure robust
and effective expenditure and reporting in line with the Planning
Act (2008) and the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010.
In accordance with the council’s strategic priorities, the
revised CIL Spending Policy Statement (2022), and the
council’s frameworks for resource allocation and
management.
 
Neighbourhood CIL applications
are normally decided by the Cabinet Member for Planning and
Economic Development. However, in this case the Cabinet Member
lives locally to the project and was an earlier advocate for the
Central Island Improvements at Elgin Avenue. It is therefore
considered it would have been inappropriate for him to take the
decision which is the subject of this report.  Accordingly, the Cabinet Member for City
Management and Air Quality has taken the decision
instead.
