Infrastructure Funding Statement

The Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) (England) (No. 2) Regulations 2019) came into force on 1 September 2019. Under these regulations, Infrastructure Funding Statements (IFS) replaced CIL Regulation 123 Lists as the mechanism through which projects are identified for CIL funding.

What the IFS does

The IFS sets out how developer contributions have been, and will be, used to provide infrastructure within our plan area. This funding has been secured through planning permissions using the policies of the development plan and the linked Community Infrastructure Levy.

We are required to publish an IFS annually, and provide a summary of all financial and non-financial developer contributions relating to S106s and CIL within our area which can be downloaded below or you can read the web version of the document. 

This IFS covers the period 2023/24

Executive Summary

This report outlines the collection, allocation, and spending of developer contributions by New Forest District Council (NFDC) in the 23/24 financial year.  This summary includes capital scheme allocations, with 'other schemes' consisting of various low-level-spend project types, laid out in more detail in the full report.

The two specific forms of developer contributions referenced in this document are as follows:

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

which are monies collected by the Council for use towards general infrastructure projects, with a smaller proportion (either 15% or 25%) given directly to parish councils and 5% retained directly for administrative costs.

Section 106 (S106)

monies paid towards specific projects and obligations entered into to deliver specific capital schemes.

The Council received £1.48m in CIL monies over the 2023/2024 financial year and spent £0.59m.  The net receipt of £0.89m coupled with £6.89m of unallocated funds from previous years means the Council holds £7.78m of unallocated CIL monies. 

During 2023/24, the Council received £0.73m in S106 monies and spent £1.27m.  Alongside the £4m already held, the Council holds £3.46m in unspent S106 funds.
