Infrastructure Funding Statement 2023/24
From: Constitution - Monday, 27th October, 2025 - October 27, 2025
The Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) (England) (No. 2) Regulations 2019) came into force on 1 September 2019. Under these regulations, Infrastructure Funding Statements (IFS) will replace CIL Regulation 123 Lists as the mechanism through which projects are identified for CIL funding. For each financial year, starting from 2019/20, we are required to publish an Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS). This is made up of three parts: •Section 106 Report: including a summary of section 106 income and expenditure (including details of some non-monetary contributions); details of projects on which section 106 receipts were spent or allocated; and the amount of section 106 receipts retained at the end of the financial year •CIL Report: including a summary of CIL income and expenditure; details of projects on which CIL was spent or allocated; and the amount of CIL retained at the end of the financial year •Infrastructure List: a statement of the infrastructure projects or types of infrastructure which we intend will be, or may be, wholly or partly funded by CIL. On 12 December 2024, the Head of Economy and Planning approved the publication of the Infrastructure Funding Statement 2023/24. The decision was taken in accordance with the delegation to the Head of Economy and Planning to approve operational documents including the Authority’s Monitoring Reports.

Publication of Brownfield Land Register Update 2024
From: Constitution - Monday, 27th October, 2025 - October 27, 2025
The Brownfield Land Register Regulations 2017 require local planning authorities to publish and maintain a register of land within their area which meets certain criteria in terms of its status as Brownfield Land, and in terms of its potential to provide housing-led development in future years. The Regulations require that this Register is reviewed at least annually. The decision proposed is to publish the update for 2024. The proposed update concerns 'Part 1' of the Brownfield Land Register, which is the basic legally required Register. Councils have the ability to identify sites as being within 'Part 2' of the Register, thereby granting them 'permission in principle', a form of planning consent. There is no 'Part 2' of the Crawley Register. The proposed update to the Register takes account of updates in respect of the planning status of various sites since the last update, and includes the addition of new sites where these have been granted planning permission (or prior approval).
Recommendations Approved
