Infrastructure Funding statement

From December 2020, planning authorities are required to publish an Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) in accordance with the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations[1]. The purpose of an IFS is to give communities a better understanding of how developer contributions have been or are planned to be used to deliver infrastructure in their area. 

Developer contributions in the city of Colchester include section 106 planning obligations and unilateral agreements secured as part of the planning application process. 

The IFS should include a register in a format provided by the Government (a CSV file) and an explanatory report which identifies infrastructure needs, the total cost of this infrastructure, anticipated funding from developer contributions, and the choices the authority has made about how these contributions will be used. 

Infrastructure Funding Statements must be published annually, before 31 December, and cover the previous financial year running from 1 April to 31 March.
