The Leader introduced the report which sought Cabinet approval to undertake public consultation on the Proposed Statement of Modifications in respect of amending a Draft Charging Schedule for the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)  and approval to compile and submit responses received to the CIL Examiner for examination. Tewkesbury Borough and Gloucester City Councils would also be consulting on their Statements of Proposed Modifications. He explained that CIL enabled the local planning authority to charge a tariff on most new development of land in its area and this would be held in a local fund and used to support development by funding the provisions, improvement, replacement, operation or maintenance of infrastructure. A four week consultation period was proposed following which feedback would be compiled and submitted to the CIL Examiner for examination.
