1. The Infrastructure Funding Statement is a statutory requirement and its content is prescribed in legislation, there is no alternative option if the Council is to comply with the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended).

2. The CIL Spending Strategy could have been left as it stood but would have then been out of alignment as a result of the Covid-19 pause and information supporting these phases may not have been readily available or if available it may not have been useful in supporting discussions or decisions on funding infrastructure.  

3. Failure to approve funding for infrastructure that is critical or essential to support delivery of the local plans would have resulted in unsustainable development and created unacceptable risks to the delivery of statutory services and the support of healthy communities.  No other options were considered.
