  12. CIL is Good News - Why? • Generates significantly more funding than Section 106; • Set at a level that ensures it is affordable / viable. • Fairer, faster and more transparent than Section 106; • Gives the Council and local communities more freedom to set infrastructure priorities that are justified; • Predictable funding stream making infrastructure delivery more efficient; • Gives developers certainty and quicker planning decisions; • Rewards communities for new development through the Neighbourhood Portion; • Supported and promoted by Government. • Focus on strategic infrastructure priorities for the city; • Focus on delivering new homes and businesses in the priority locations set out in the local plan.

  13. Section 106 Contributions and CIL Comparison Actual Section 106 receipts and potential CIL Priorities (excludes affordable housing)

  14. Post Adoption Immediate Jobs: • CIL and Planning Obligations SPD. Will be reviewed soon due to AH policy change • Approving Relief and resolving disputes – major applications. Carry on studying the Regs! • Neighbourhood Portion - parishes and non-parished areas – Local Area Partnerships (LAPs) • Redraft the Regulation 123 List – Corporate group • Reporting • Review of Charging Schedule (!!??) • CIL Review
