1. Havant Borough Council has more than £1.75m to spend on infrastructure to help the borough a better place to live, work and visit (including £200k for neighbourhood projects). These funds are from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) which is a charge paid by developers, mostly from the building of new homes, and is based on the size and type of the development.

The bidding process for CIL funds runs between 30 June and 11 August 2017. Bids can be made for infrastructure projects by infrastructure providers, community groups and councillors.

More information can be found on our website, including the form available for download and additional information on the bidding requirements at: www.havant.gov.uk/community-infrastructure-levy-spending-decisions/community-infrastructure-levy-spending-bid-process

Additionally for reference, the CIL Funding Decision Protocol 2017, CIL Charging Schedule, Regulation 123 List, Strategic Infrastructure Delivery Plan and details of the Local Plan can all be accessed from this page.

Forms should be returned no later than Friday 11 August 2017 to cil@havant.gov.uk or by post to the Public Service Plaza.

We are anticipating that the decision regarding this round of funding bids will be taken by the Council, 21 February 2018.

The next round of CIL funding bids will be invited in the summer of 2018.

Kind regards
