6. Infrastructure
Planning

7. Working in Partnership with the
Districts
• Hampshire CIL Officer’s Group
 11 districts, 2 national parks and 2 unitary authorities
 Sharing best practice and problem solving
• Membership of CIL Project Boards/Steering Groups

8. Formal Engagement through
Consultation
• Corporate response coordinated by Strategic Infrastructure
team following internal consultation
• Concentrate on following areas:
 Strategic Developments
 Extra Care Housing
 Regulation 123 List

9. The Regulation 123 List
• Key area of concern for the County Council
• Particularly in respect of highways – need to ensure the
Highway Authority’s powers are not fettered
• HCC recommending specific approach wherever possible

10. Havant Borough
Council
Risk of perceived
‘double dipping’
May be confusing…
better to have named
school on the list

11. Winchester City Council
Very specific
exclusions so
more
transparent for
developers
No exclusions
required for
transport as
only the
named
schemes are
intended to be
funded by CIL.

12. Implementation of CIL
• Practicalities of dealing with planning applications post CIL:
 Conflict between Local Plan requirements and Reg 123 list
 Managing section 106 agreements (pooling restrictions)

13. Governance Arrangements for Transfer of
Funds
• Havant – bidding process
 Request for bids 25 July, bids to be submitted 29 August!!
 5 bids submitted by HCC – 3 transport schemes, 1 primary
school extension and improvements to a library
 Total cost of HCC bids = £10m
 Expected annual CIL receipts = £1.5m
• Winchester – fixed proportion
 Wanted to pass over a set amount for HCC to determine how to
spend
 Currently HCC collects between £600k - £1m annually, the
majority for transport
 WCC Cabinet decision to pass HCC 25% of residual CIL funds
Expected annual CIL receipts = £800k - £1m
 Expected annual CIL funds to HCC = £130k - £162.5k
