Report of the Leader, Councillor Rowena Hay

RESOLVED THAT:

1.     the decisions of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Joint Committee made on 14 July 2025. (Appendix 5) are noted.

The Leader presented the report as published, which sets out the decisions made by the Community Infrastructure Levy Joint Committee (CILJC) to support infrastructure projects across Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Gloucester, as set out in Appendix 5. She said the allocations support the delivery of three strategic infrastructure, aligned with the councils’ development priorities, climate goals, and corporate plan objectives, and that the report also outlines the legal, financial, environmental, and equality implications of these decisions.  She confirmed that the remaining £901,879 from Cheltenham’s share remains unallocated for future consideration.

Members were asked to note the decisions of the CIL Joint Committee.

The Cabinet Member for Safety and Communities asked for assurance that the committee would meet again before the end of the year as stated in the report, to reassess proposals, as there is a project in her ward that she would like to progress.  The Leader said it is in the diary but there are a lot of major infrastructure projects coming forward at present, including Junction 10, and allocation of funding will very much be based on need, priorities, and how any proposal sits with the Corporate Plan.
