Wealden District Council

Infrastructure Funding Statement

National planning regulations which came into force on 1 September 2019 state that any local authority that receives a financial or non-financial contribution from development through Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) or section 106 planning obligations must prepare an Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) by the 31 December 2020 and annually thereafter.

The latest IFS covers the period from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 and reports on all developer contribution receipts and expenditure during the financial period, as well as providing information on infrastructure projects or types of infrastructure which the charging authority intends will be, or may be, wholly or partly funded through CIL.

East Sussex County Council (ESCC) produces its own IFS, which reports on all developer contribution receipts and expenditure by the local authority and includes both highway projects and education provision, amongst other matters.

Town and Parish CIL Payments and Monitoring Reports.

We are required to pass a percentage of the total CIL receipts raised in a Town or Parish Council directly to the Town or Parish Council where the development is taking place. This is known as the ‘meaningful proportion’.

Currently the percentage is set at 15% (capped at £100 pa per council tax paying dwelling), or in areas where there is a made Neighbourhood Plan 25% (uncapped).

Wealden District Council has transferred CIL payments totalling over £1.2 million to the Town and Parish Councils covering the period from 31 March 2024 to 30 September 2024 and this is shown in the table below:
