To receive any motions from Councillors in accordance with Standing Order 16.
Motion 1
Proposed by Councillor S Mooney
Seconded by Councillor C Bateson
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) allows the council to raise funds from some forms of new development to help fund the infrastructure needed to mitigate the impacts of new development. CIL funds are used for either local infrastructure or infrastructure of wider strategic benefit to the borough. An initial 5% of CIL funds collected is retained by the council for administration purposes and 15% of the funds are allocated in local areas to infrastructure projects which are required in the communities where development took place.
With this in mind, I urge that this Council agrees that strategic CIL bids to support infrastructure in Staines are given significant weight in decision-making on CIL expenditure to reflect the quantum of development in Staines and the amount of funding these schemes contribute to the pot.
