To seek approval to the content of a consultation on the Borough’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) draft Charging Schedule.
The Council commissioned Three Dragons to undertake a CIL Review Viability Assessment for the Borough, to determine whether a new CIL rate could be applied without negatively impacting on the delivery of housing and other forms of development associated with the emerging Fareham Local Plan 2037.
Following the conclusion of the assessment, the report recommends new rates for residential and some non-residential uses that align to the evidence collected through the CIL Review Viability Assessment.
The report seeks Executive approval to consult on the draft Charging Schedule and the proposed rates therein. Secondly, the report seeks delegated authority to commence the examination process following the consultation.
Resolved that the Executive recommends that the Council:
(a) approves the Community Infrastructure Levy Draft Charging Schedule as set out in Appendix A to the report for public consultation for a period of 6 weeks;
(b) agrees that the Director of Planning and Regeneration be authorised to make any necessary minor amendments, following consultation with the Executive Member for Planning and Development, and delegates to him the authority to submit the draft Charging Schedule for Examination; and
(c) delegates to the Director of Planning and Regeneration, following consultation with the Executive Member for Planning and Development the authority to procure and appoint an independent examiner to conduct the examination on the draft Charging Schedule.
