Minutes:

The Director of Planning and Regulation had submitted a report to ask Cabinet to recommend to Council the approval of the Partial Review of the Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule.

Councillor Hollingsworth presented the report. He said that this was a proposed change to our CIL charging schedule and that it had been through the appropriate processes. He said that they were not proposing changes to shops and housing but were proposing a change to the office and research and development businesses. He said that the report reflects the demand for those businesses in Oxford and the return those businesses were able to make in the city. He noted that the proposed change would provide a greater source of revenue to be invested in infrastructure and repair in the city.

Lorraine Freeman, the Team Leader - CIL, Data Analysis and Reporting, said that if approved, the decision would go into effect on the 15th of August. 

Councillor Brown welcomed the report and thanked the officers for their work on the report.

Cabinet resolved to recommend to Council that they resolve to:

  1. Adopt the CIL Charging Schedule in line with the recommendation of the independent examiner as set out in Appendix 1; and
  2. Approve the date on which the amended tariffs will come into effect.
  3. Delegate authority to the Director of Planning and Regulatory to make any necessary further minor changes to the documents or any minor change to the implementation date for the new CIL rates.
