Member Discussion – key points:

Heather Morgan confirmed that the CIL Task Group would concern itself with the Strategic CIL spend, with officers performing the first sift of funding requests before passing their longlist to the Task Group for consideration ahead of the recommended shortlist going to the Joint Committee for final decision.

 

The terms of reference being considered by the committee at this meeting differed from those agreed in March 2021 only in the membership of the Task Group, which had changed on the switch by Spelthorne Borough Council to the committee system earlier in the summer.

 

Regarding the outdoor gyms project, it was confirmed that the borough’s Environment and Sustainability committee had been happy that consultation with residents was not necessary for the project to go to the tender and procurement stage, although there was still the need for it to go through the planning process.

 

The CIL group was commended for its work in making funding available to local projects the results of which could be seen in the borough and were very welcome.

The Spelthorne Joint Committee AGREED that:

 

(i)     The CIL Task Group be reconstituted in accordance with the Terms of Reference set out at Appendix A of the report.

(ii)    The CIL Progress Report be noted (Appendix B).

In order to progress Strategic CIL spending across the Borough
