Decision:

RESOLVED

 

That the Draft Infrastructure Business Plan 2020-25 (Appendix 1) be approved for consultation (with the City, Town and Parish Councils, neighbouring local authorities including the South Downs National Park Authority and key infrastructure Delivery Commissioners) for a period of six weeks from 7 October to 18 November 2019.

Minutes:

Mrs Taylor introduced the item. She explained that purpose of the Infrastructure Business Plan (IBP) is to prioritise strategic infrastructure projects which support the current Local Plan. Projects are identified by the council, WSCC, City, Town and Parish Councils as well as key infrastructure providers. A methodology detailed on the website is used to prioritise and then select projects for Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and other funding sources. The projects selected have been considered by the council’s officers, WSCC officers, the Chichester District Growth Board and the Development Plan and Infrastructure Panel (DPIP). Mrs Taylor confirmed that the projects identified exceed the funds available and priority has to be given to infrastructure which will facilitate growth.

 

Mrs Taylor drew attention to IBP 332 and IBP 659 which WSCC have requested be put back to 2020-21 due to the anticipated level of school age children not being reached. Mrs Taylor confirmed that the upgrading of the Westhampnett Waste Transfer Station had been brought forward to 2020-21 due to extensive fire damage. She then explained that a number of green links proposed across the Manhood with the exception of IBP 787 and IBP 808 had been categorised as desirable and therefore not chosen. However IBP 787 and IBP 808 were categorised as high and were selected. IBP 775 and IBP 206 relating to Southern Gateway have also been included in the IBP.

 

The consultation period for the IBP runs from 7 October 2019 – 18 November 2019. Any amendments will be reported to the Chichester Growth Board followed by DPIP before Cabinet and Council in February 2020.

 

Mrs Plant then wished to emphasise the importance of CIL and thanked officers for their comprehensive update.

 

Decision

 

The Cabinet then voted unanimously to make the resolution below.

 

RESOLVED

 

That the Draft Infrastructure Business Plan 2020-25 (Appendix 1) be approved for consultation (with the City, Town and Parish Councils, neighbouring local authorities including the South Downs National Park Authority and key infrastructure Delivery Commissioners) for a period of six weeks from 7 October to 18 November 2019.
