Minutes:
Councillor Shama Tatler, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Growth, Employment and Skills, introduced the report stating that the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge applied to development to help fund strategic (borough-wide) and neighbourhood infrastructure to address deficits that might otherwise be caused by development. Brent’s CIL was formally introduced on 1 July 2013.
As there is greater predictability about income received, the availability of CIL encourages more effective planning to deliver projects that, as well as dealing with deficits in infrastructure caused by new development, can also deliver wider benefits to the local community.
She informed Members that the purpose of this report is to propose a NCIL allocation process for approval by Cabinet.
