Decision details

The Committee received a report on Community Infrastructure Levy community receipts.  Members noted the comments made by the various Neighbourhood Forum representatives during the public forum, especially the concerns over the project management of agreed schemes. As a result, it was proposed that the process should be reviewed in 12 months time and that the recommendations be amended to include this (proposed by Cllr Bittlestone and seconded by Cllr Carasco). 

The Woking Joint Committee agreed that :

(i)    The arrangement for managing the proportion of the CIL receipts earmarked for local community projects as set out in Section 2 of the report be noted and approved;

(ii)   Local Ward Borough Councillors in conjunction with County Divisional Councillors take the leading role in identifying local community infrastructure projects that CIL receipts could be used, and in doing so should work in partnership with designated Neighbourhood Forums and other recognised stakeholders within the Ward or Neighbourhood Area.

(iii)That the process be subject to review in one years’ time.

Reason for decision:

To enable the effective and efficient management of the proportion of the CIL receipts that is earmarked for local community projects.
