Description
Report of the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Planning and Coastal Management and the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Resources
Matter for Decision (to consider...)

The purpose of this report is to seek authorisation to consult on the draft East Suffolk Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule, alongside the draft CIL Instalment Policy, and then (after having considered representations) to submit the Charging Schedule for independent examination. (After the examination, assuming that the Examiner recommends that the CIL Charging Schedule can be approved (with or without modifications) the Council hopes to be able to approve (or ‘adopt’) the Charging Schedule.)  

CIL is a mechanism for securing funds from development which must then be spent on infrastructure to support/mitigate the effects of new development in East Suffolk. The CIL Charging Schedule will (when approved) cover the whole of the East Suffolk area, and replace the two existing CIL Charging Schedules, for Waveney (adopted in 2013) and Suffolk Coastal (adopted in 2015), which are now becoming somewhat aged and will benefit from being updated and amalgamated.

The East Suffolk CIL Charging Schedule will therefore help to deliver infrastructure to deliver the growth set out in the Waveney Local Plan (adopted in March 2019) and the Suffolk Coastal Local Plan (adopted in September 2020), as well as any growth set out in ‘made’ (adopted) Neighbourhood Plans.

Decision Made

1. That the Draft Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule, including the Draft East Suffolk CIL Instalment Policy, be approved for six weeks’ consultation.

 

2. That the Head of Planning and Coastal Management, in consultation with the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Planning and Coastal Management, be authorised to make any presentational, typographical and/or other minor (non-material) amendments prior to consultation.

 

3. That the Head of Planning and Coastal Management, in consultation with the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Planning and Coastal Management, be authorised to consider the representations made to the consultation, to make any relevant modifications, and then submit the draft CIL Charging Schedule (and supporting documents) for examination by an independent Examiner.

 

4. That the Head of Planning and Coastal Management, in consultation with the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Planning and Coastal Management, be authorised to agree any further work and/or appropriate changes to the draft CIL Charging Schedule (and Instalment Policy) during the examination as the need may arise.

Reason for Decision

The draft East Suffolk CIL Charging Schedule now needs to be subject to a formal period of public consultation, with the representations received considered prior to submitting the Charging Schedule for independent examination. Consultation will also take place on the draft Instalment Policy.

 

Delegated powers were sought to enable officers – in consultation with the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Planning and Coastal Management – to advance the progress of the Charging Schedule through the formal public consultation to the end of the independent examination.  As with the Local Plan examinations, this was necessary to enable officers to agree any relevant non-major changes in an expeditious and pragmatic manner.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected
An alternative option is not to progress with the consultation and halt work on the CIL Charging Schedule; this option was not considered appropriate and therefore not recommended.   
Any Declarations of Interest Declared
None.
Any Dispensation Granted
None.
