Community Resources Manager Update and Decision Report The report recommends funding decisions on submitted proposals for CIL and S106 funding; decisions on previously-allocated sums of S106 and CIL which are either underspent or have not been drawn-down; a decision on a proposal to ‘pair wards’ within the AC area. Additional documents:
Minutes: The Community Resources Manager presented the report and drew attention to the following:
a. The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) available to the Area Committee totalled £1,412,364.54 (£714,234.78 General Expenditure, £698,129.76 Old Market Neighbourhood Development Plan). b.

An outline was provided to Committee on the proposals detailed in the table above.
