In April Council agreed the arrangements for implementing Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in Hambleton.  This allowed for direct payment of CIL as a charge or by payment in kind by donating land but did not consider payment in kind through direct provision of infrastructure.  This report seeks consideration of an amended to the CIL Charging Schedule to allow for direct provision of infrastructure to be included within the Council’s Regulation 123 list in lieu of a financial payment.

In accepting the recommendation, Cabinet will approval and recommend to Council that the Hambleton District Council Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule is amended to allow for direct provision of infrastructure to be included within the Council’s Regulation 123 list in lieu of a financial payment.
