THAT:
a)The Portfolio Holder for Growth and Regeneration approves the commencement of a four week public consultation on the projects shortlisted to receive CIL Neighbourhood Funding in the ‘CIL Non-Parish Funding - Local Infrastructure Schedule, Project Assessments and Proposed Funding Allocations document.

To ensure that the neighbourhood portion of CIL collected receipts are expended in accordance with the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended) and statutory guidance.

Two alternative options are potentially available to pursue.
Firstly there is the opportunity to allocate CIL monies to alternative schemes contained on the Local Infrastructure Schedule. However, these schemes have been assessed as not being suitable for funding at this time, either on the ground of project suitability (not meeting CIL Regulation 59F), alternative funding streams available or from the unavailability of full funding (either from CIL or external streams).
The second alternative option would be to remove projects from the potential shortlist of funded project (either single projects or all projects) to allow for the CIL Non-Parish Neighbourhood Funding pot to accumulate further or await the further identification of alternative schemes. The implications of this could see a number of suitable projects not funded and may prevent projects that are due to be matched funded not being delivered fully.
