Report of the Director of Place.

The Cabinet were presented a report which sought approval for the list of Infrastructure items, with affordable housing to be included in the Council’s Infrastructure Funding Statement, which was required to be published on the Council’s website by 31 December 2022.

The following was highlighted:

• There was a legal requirement for Council to publish the infrastructure funding statement by the end of 2022.
• The preparation of a new Local Plan for Mid Devon (‘Plan Mid Devon’) would provide an opportunity for the infrastructure needed to support new development where this is planned across the district to be reviewed.
• The Planning Policy Advisory Group had consulted on the Infrastructure List.
• This list would continue to be reviewed.

RESOLVED:

1.    The list of infrastructure and affordable housing in Appendix 1 that the Council intends to fund, either wholly or partly, by planning obligations and the future spending priorities on these

2.    The inclusion of Appendix 1 – Infrastructure List in the Mid Devon Infrastructure Funding Statement to be published on the Council’s website by 31st December 2022.

(Proposed by Cllr R Chesterton, seconded by Cllr C Slade)

Reason for decision – as set out in the report.
