Lead Member – Councillor Chris Schofield, Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regulatory Services

Lead Officer – Eddie West

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet:

1.     Agreed the Infrastructure Funding Statement included as Appendix 1 to this report for publication before the end of 2024.

2.     Delegated responsibility to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regulatory Services, to agree, if necessary, amendments to the Infrastructure Funding Statement before its publication.

The Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regulatory Services introduced the report which sought approval for the 2024 Infrastructure Funding Statement, which is a statutory requirement for Councils to produce.

Members noted that the Infrastructure Funding Statement provided a detailed breakdown of the amount of Section 106 and CIL contributions the Council had received in the reporting year (2023-2024), as well as where these funds have been used or allocated to.

Concern was expressed that there were no figures associated with the North West Relief Road. Members were reminded that this had been raised earlier in response to a public question where the Portfolio Holder had confirmed that further detail will be included in the full business case which will go to Council in the new year.
