Decision details

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Draft Charging Schedule (DCS) consultation

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

CIL is a tool to help fund infrastructure to support development and will be charged on most new development schemes that create net additional floorspace, subject to a number of exemptions and reliefs. Once established, CIL will run alongside Section 106 agreements (S106s) which will continue to operate where it is necessary to make developments acceptable.

The CIL DCS consultation is the 2nd stage of public consultation in the process that will lead to the introduction of CIL charges. The 1st public consultation stage took place in September 2012. Consultation is proposed for 9 weeks from July to September 2014.

Decision:

 

1.1.    That approval be given for publication of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Draft Charging Schedule (DCS) and associated evidence base documents for public consultation in accordance with Regulation 16 of the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended).

 

1.2.    That the strategy for securing the provision of, or financial contributions to, the cost of infrastructure to support development in White City East and Earls Court & West Kensington Opportunity Area should continue to be S106 agreements (S106s) rather than CIL (£0/m2 CIL rates are proposed for these two areas in the CIL DCS).

 

1.3.    That approval be given for public consultation on other related issues including the Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA) and Neighbourhood CIL.

 

1.4.    That the Bi-Borough Executive Director for Transport & Technical Services, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Transport, Environment & Resident Services, be authorised to approve any technical and other minor amendments to the proposed public consultation documents.
