The Strategic Planning and Key Sites Manager presented a report to update members on progress with regards managing the Chesterfield Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) programme.

The CIL is a mechanism that allows local planning authorities to raise funds from new development in order to contribute to the cost of infrastructure that is, or will be, needed to support new development. Bids for funding were invited in Spring 2019 and, following assessment in line with the CIL Expenditure Strategy, the report recommended that funding be awarded for the expansion of Poolsbrook Primary Academy, providing additional school places to support planned housing growth in the area.

The report also set out proposals for managing expenditure of the neighbourhood portion of CIL receipts, including non-parished areas of the borough.
