Aims
For
the Steering Group to consider and make recommendations to Cabinet
on how the Council’s retained portion (Strategic) of the
Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) should be prioritised, as
follows:
Scope &
Objectives
Infrastructure Delivery
1.
To review and propose revisions to the
Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP)[1] to inform
the forthcoming Infrastructure Funding Statement.
2.
Consider how the Strategic CIL should be prioritised
against the infrastructure priorities set out in the Infrastructure
Delivery Plan, or a revised version of that plan, and to determine
how or if Towns and Parishes can access the Strategic
portion.
Governance
3.
Set the Terms of Reference and procedure for
assessing how the Strategic CIL should be allocated, including the
membership of the Strategic CIL Decision Making Panel.
4.
To consider how the Authority works with Towns and
Parishes to optimise the use of CIL using the Strategic and local
portion in-conjunction with the work to be carried out as part of
the Infrastructure Delivery Plan
Thresholds
for CIL Spending and interrelation with Community Grant
funding
5.
To consider the use of Strategic CIL spending
thresholds and, if relevant, propose those spending
thresholds
6.
To consider how Strategic CIL interrelates with the
Community Grant funding process.
Strategic
CIL re-distribution
7.
Consider if and how Strategic CIL could be allocated
to areas where significant affordable housing is built but does not
generate its own CIL.
8.
Consider if and how Strategic CIL could be allocated
to areas where housing is allocated or where it is not
allocated.
Review of
CIL charging framework
9.
Consider, in the wider context of viability and the
delivery of infrastructure within the District, whether there
should be a review of the CIL charging schedule (which if a review
is recommended will be required to be evidenced and subsequently be
tested through an independent Examination process).
