Annual Infrastructure Funding Statement 2019 to 2020

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations were amended1 in 2019. These amendments introduced, amongst other things:

• part 10A - reporting and monitoring on CIL and planning obligations
• schedule 2 - matters to be included in the annual infrastructure funding statement

Regulation 121 (Part 10A) require the publication of a statement which:

• states which infrastructure projects or types of infrastructure the Council intends to be wholly or partly funded by CIL
• a report about the receipt and spending of CIL in the monitoring period
• a report about planning obligations in the monitoring period

This report must cover the previous financial year (April to March) and must be published by 31 December following the end of the financial period. The first report must be published before 31 December 2020. As regulations make provision for a proportion of CIL receipts to be shared with parish councils, there is also a duty for these bodies to report when they have received CIL.

Schedule 2 of the regulations set out in detail what should be included within this report for CIL and Planning Obligations. This is discussed below, with Appendix 1 to 3 providing an itemised list which meets the requirements within regulations.
