Purpose:

Content: Decision   RESOLVED that Cabinet recommended to Council:   I. To Adopt the updated approach to CIL spending and the attached documents. II. To Agree that the Council’s website is amended to set out the updated approach and provided further information to assist bidders. III. Agree that non-material changes to the documents, the website and spend framework as a whole are able to be made by officers in conjunction with the Cabinet Member for Planning, Infrastructure & Transport.     Reasons for decision   The Council is responsible for making decisions on the allocation of funding raised by the Community Infrastructure Levy. Having guidance as well as a framework that is updated to reflect the needs of the borough is important to ensure that CIL monies are being allocated efficiently.   Alternative Options Considered   The Cabinet could have decided not to recommend to Council the updated CIL process and guidance are adopted. This would have resulted in uncertainty regarding the process and the continuation of the framework currently in place.
