119 Community Infrastructure Levy spending strategy PDF 276 KB
To consider the head of development and regeneration’s report.
Minutes:
Cabinet considered the head of development and regeneration’s report, which sought approval for a spending strategy for the income received from the Community Infrastructure Levy.
The proposed strategy included a percentage-based allocation of funds as follows:
Infrastructure type |
Percentage of Community Infrastructure Levy to be allocated |
Education and transport infrastructure (to Oxfordshire County Council) |
50% |
Community Health Care (to the Clinical Commissioning Group) |
20% |
Sports and leisure facilities, including improved disabled access (Vale of White Horse District Council) |
20% |
Green infrastructure and biodiversity provision (Vale of White Horse District Council) |
5% |
Public art and cultural heritage/Public realm, including improved disabled access (Vale of White Horse District Council) |
5% |
Total |
100% |
Cabinet agreed that the allocation proposed was the most appropriate spilt of Community Infrastructure Levy income. The effectiveness of the allocation would be monitored over two years and could be reviewed if necessary. The income would not be spent outside the district, unless there were exceptional circumstances. However, it was noted that in the case of the commissioning of health services for the western part of the district, funds should be made available to the Swindon Clinical Commissioning Group, not the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group.
RESOLVED: to adopt the Community Infrastructure Levy Spending Strategy, as set out in appendix 1 to the head of development and regeneration’s report to Cabinet on 5 April 2019.
