Summary of Decision

The Cabinet Member for City Management and Air Quality has approved the

Neighbourhood CIL bid for Elgin Avenue Central Island Improvements

(Eastern Area), the details of which are set out in this report.

Reasons for Decision

The Cabinet Member for City Management and Air Quality has made this decision to ensure robust and effective expenditure and reporting in line with the Planning Act (2008) and the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. In accordance with the council’s strategic priorities, the revised CIL Spending Policy Statement (2022), and the council’s frameworks for resource allocation and management.

Neighbourhood CIL applications are normally decided by the Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Development. However, in this case the Cabinet Member lives locally to the project and was an earlier advocate for the Central Island Improvements at Elgin Avenue. It is therefore considered it would have been inappropriate for him to take the decision which is the subject of this report.  Accordingly, the Cabinet Member for City Management and Air Quality has taken the decision instead.
