Agenda item

The Committee considered the following requests:

 

1. Councillor Roberts – Hope Community Centre

 

Councillor Roberts addressed the Committee.

 

Some Members felt this did not meet the NCIL funding Criteria. However, it was noted that Officers had considered the application against the relevant statutory definitions and CIL guidance and had advised that the application was considered to meet these parameters in their broadest sense.  Committee was advised that the decision to consider this application and determine whether it supports the funding request was completely within its gift.

 

Councillors Cornelius and Prentice suggested some alternative means of funding via local organisations and the Chairman thanked them for their input.

 

It was moved by the Chairman and seconded by Councillor Cornelius that the application be refused: The Chairman suggested that the legal definition of ‘infrastructure’ needed to be clearer to avoid future dilemmas. The committee agreed and the Chairman confirmed she would discuss further with officers.

 

For (refusal)	5
Against (refusal)	2

RESOLVED that the application be refused.

 

2. Councillor Rawlings – Allotmentz Kitchen Unit

 

Councillor Rawlings was not present.

 

RESOLVED that £2,000 NCIL funding be unanimously agreed.

 

3. Councillor Coakley Webb – Halliwick Recreation Ground

 

The Chairman asked if Haringey had been approached with regard to joint funding this application especially as it was so close to the Haringey border and it would be of great benefit to both Barnet residents and Haringey residents.

 

Councillor Coakley Webb confirmed that she had not approached Haringey and in her opinion, they were unlikely to be open to this suggestion.

 

The Committee voted as follows:
