The Cabinet considered a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) providing the CIL Annual Financial Report for the financial year 2016/17 together with an update in respect of the allocation and expenditure of CIL funding.

Resolved:

1. That the content of the CIL Annual Financial Report 2016/17 (including Appendix 1 to the submitted report) be noted and that the CIL Main Fund receipts to date be carried forward to the next financial year (2018/19), when spending will be reviewed.

2. That the authority to agree how the Ward Neighbourhood Allocation (excluding allocation to Leigh Town Council area) is to be spent be delegated to the Deputy Chief Executive (Place), in consultation with Ward Members and the Executive Councillor for Housing, Planning and Sustainability.

Reasons for Decision:

As more significant CIL receipts are anticipated over the next year it is considered more beneficial to wait until these receipts are received before deciding how to apply them to infrastructure projects.

Other options:

As set out in the submitted report.
