Issue details

The strategic overview for the CIL spending as set by the Reg 13 List, has already been agreed by Executive Board following periods of consultation with internal and external stakeholders, and some of those raised comments relevant to the issue of detailed spending.

Draft versions of this Executive Board report outlining the multiple options for spending (and resulting in refinement to the final recommendations proposed) have previously been reviewed by City Development Directorate, Strategic Investment Board, and Corporate Leadership Team.

A number of Services, external infrastructure providers, and local communities will be affected by the way the CIL is spent no matter what parameters are placed on it.  No further consultation is proposed with those bodies at this time on the overall parameters, i.e. the amount to be retained by the Council for strategic spend and how the neighbourhood fund will be passed to local communities.  Consultation on individual spending decisions will be as undertaken within the standard process for setting the Capital Progamme.  However, some of the decisions recommended in this report are directly concerned with ensuring local communties have further involvement and influence on local CIL spending of the neighbourhood fund, primarily through Community Committees and working with Town and Parish Councils.

As outlined in the consultation process section.
