Review and Update to the Anti-Social Behaviour Policy
From: Constitution - Monday, 27th October, 2025 - October 27, 2025
Following a review of the Anti-Social Behaviour Policy the Head of Crawley Homes (following consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing) updated the Policy to align with the Council’s current approach to responding to Anti-social Behaviour. The changes to the Policy were also shared with the Cabinet Member for Public Protection. Below is a summary of key changes to the policy and the sections in the policy that cover this point. We felt that the previous policy was not clear enough about: What is considered Anti-social Behaviour and what is not? (Paragraphs 3.1, 3.2, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and Appendix A). What you can expect when contacting the service? (Sections 8 and 10). What is expected of users of the service in relation to the information we need so that we can investigate ASB reports (Section 7, and Paragraphs 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 11.1 & 11.2) Partners we may work with to remedy the ASB. (Section 12). Remedies & enforcement we may use to resolve ASB. (Paragraph 2.5, Section 9 and Appendix C). Details on ASB Case review & complaints (Sections 13,14 and 18). We have amended our policy to make these points clearer. We have also updated the Policy to take into account recommendations from the Housing Ombudsman to landlords about responding to anti-social behaviour (Paragraphs 2.2, 2.4, and Sections 5, 6 and 7).

Infrastructure Funding Statement 2023/24
From: Constitution - Monday, 27th October, 2025 - October 27, 2025
The Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) (England) (No. 2) Regulations 2019) came into force on 1 September 2019. Under these regulations, Infrastructure Funding Statements (IFS) will replace CIL Regulation 123 Lists as the mechanism through which projects are identified for CIL funding. For each financial year, starting from 2019/20, we are required to publish an Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS). This is made up of three parts: •Section 106 Report: including a summary of section 106 income and expenditure (including details of some non-monetary contributions); details of projects on which section 106 receipts were spent or allocated; and the amount of section 106 receipts retained at the end of the financial year •CIL Report: including a summary of CIL income and expenditure; details of projects on which CIL was spent or allocated; and the amount of CIL retained at the end of the financial year •Infrastructure List: a statement of the infrastructure projects or types of infrastructure which we intend will be, or may be, wholly or partly funded by CIL. On 12 December 2024, the Head of Economy and Planning approved the publication of the Infrastructure Funding Statement 2023/24. The decision was taken in accordance with the delegation to the Head of Economy and Planning to approve operational documents including the Authority’s Monitoring Reports.

Publication of Brownfield Land Register Update 2024
From: Constitution - Monday, 27th October, 2025 - October 27, 2025
The Brownfield Land Register Regulations 2017 require local planning authorities to publish and maintain a register of land within their area which meets certain criteria in terms of its status as Brownfield Land, and in terms of its potential to provide housing-led development in future years. The Regulations require that this Register is reviewed at least annually. The decision proposed is to publish the update for 2024. The proposed update concerns 'Part 1' of the Brownfield Land Register, which is the basic legally required Register. Councils have the ability to identify sites as being within 'Part 2' of the Register, thereby granting them 'permission in principle', a form of planning consent. There is no 'Part 2' of the Crawley Register. The proposed update to the Register takes account of updates in respect of the planning status of various sites since the last update, and includes the addition of new sites where these have been granted planning permission (or prior approval).
Recommendations Approved
Irrecoverable Debts 2024-2025 (Under £50,000) (Part 1)
From: Constitution - Monday, 27th October, 2025 - October 27, 2025
While the Council endeavours to collect all debts due to the Council, there will inevitably be some debts that remain irrecoverable. Individual debts of up to £50,000 can be written-off using delegated powers. Decisions on irrecoverable debts of this financial level will be considered twice annually, this is part 1 of the 2024/25 write-offs.
