Councillor Alistair Bradley, Executive Leader, presented the report of the Deputy Chief Executive which seeks approval to delegate the update of the Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) and allocation of main Community Infrastructure Levy monies to infrastructure projects by an Executive Member Decision.
There is a risk in that the number of allocation requests received for CIL funding will exceed the amount of money collected in the Strategic CIL Portion. The total uncommitted CIL is £2.3m with known outstanding applications relating to Chorley Council projects of £4.3m.
Officers have requested that Lancashire County Council as the Local education authority provide a list of schools that require additional school places for consideration for inclusion on the Infrastructure Funding Statement by 31 July 2020, as this is an area of concern for members.
A query was raised in relation to assistance for community centres in sanitising in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is will be dealt with following the meeting.
Decision:
