Report of the Service Director, Communities and Environment

Minutes:

The Committee received a report updating councillors on the money received and expended following the introduction of Gateshead Council Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule. This is the first CIL annual report and covers the period from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018.

 

The money raised through the Community Infrastructure Levy will help pay for infrastructure required as a result of growth in Gateshead, as set out in the Regulation 123 List. This includes primary schools, strategic transport and green infrastructure.

 

The Committee were advised that the CIL income is to be allocated in Gateshead as follows:

 

·         5% towards the implementation and ongoing administration by Gateshead Council.

·         15% of levy receipts will be passed to Parish Councils (Lamesley Parish), Wards (Neighbourhood Portion) where the development that paid CIL will take place. This can be used for the provision of local infrastructure improvements or other measures to support the development of the area.

·         80% of CIL is to be applied to strategic infrastructure as identified within the Regulation 123 List.

 

The Committee were advised that the following amounts have been received for the financial year (1 April 2017 – 31 March 2018)

Housing Permissions 2018 pdf icon PDF 60 KB

Report of the Service Director, Communities and Environment

Minutes:

The Committee received a report providing an update on the Housing Decisions made in 2018.

 

In 2018, 109 decisions on housing applications have been made, 7 of these were withdrawn, 16 refused and 86 granted. This has granted a total of 1822 new dwellings in Gateshead.

 

In the past six weeks, 9 applications have been granted and minded to grant at Planning and Development Committee with a combined total of 1373 dwellings.

 

The Committee were advised that the results of the Housing Delivery Test are likely to show that the level of housing delivery in Gateshead is not keeping pace with the amount required in the Council’s Local Plan. As a result there will be a requirement for the Council to produce an Action Plan to set out the causes of under delivery and to put in place measures to increase delivery. There are several factors affecting the level of housing delivery in the Borough a number of which the Council has limited control over. However the granting of planning permission for development that meets the policies in the Local Plan reduces a potential barrier to housing development.

 

RESOLVED -              that the information be noted.
