Cabinet considered a report which explained that as part of the process to allocate CIL funding to Infrastructure Projects, CIL applications were invited in January and July annually. The most recent round of applications included a number of bids over £50k. The CIL Spending Panel had delegated powers to approve and sign off applications up to £50k. All applications of £50,001 and over fell to Cabinet to make the decision, under the CIL Governance framework.

An application had been received from Terrington St John Parish Council for the purchase of the former church as Village Hall – they had requested £150,000.00.

The CIL Spending Panel, on the 05 March 2024, had reviewed the submitted applications, and made their comments/recommendations based on the amount of funding available.  The Project over £50k was received and recommended by the CIL Spending Panel for funding in this round of applications, and was brought to the Cabinet meeting for consideration.

It was noted that the report contained a typo in the appendix containing the CIL Terms of Reference which in sections 2 and 3 should have read £50,000, rather than £30,000.  The updated figure had been previously agreed at Cabinet.
