To receive and consider the report of the Director of Planning and Development (enclosed).

Councillor Alistair Bradley, Executive Member (Economic Development and Public Service Reform), presented the confidential report of the Director of Planning and Development which seeks approval to amend the Infrastructure Funding Statement and the allocation of main Community Infrastructure Levy monies to infrastructure projects.

Decision:

To approve the Infrastructure Funding Statement (June 2021) and approve the allocation of Community Infrastructure Levy monies for £250,000 subject to conditions for spend on the reconfiguration and modernisation of Chorley Health Centre, Collison Avenue, Chorley.

Reasons for recommendation(s):

To allocate the CIL Infrastructure Fund in the way it is intended and ensure the

methodology of how it is allocated is transparent

Alternative options considered and rejected:

An alternative option of funding £500,000 was considered but rejected on the basis of £500k being significant; CIL funding has been used for health on other projects e.g. allocation of CIL  funds to the Clayton-Le-Woods GP Surgery project and Eaves Lane GP Surgery relocation and that the strategic CIL fund has limited resources.
