LEP Peter Thornton updated the Board on the recent developments relating to the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). The funding that the LEP had applied for had been received. Although the amount was considered to be substantial the partnership was reviewing whether it had been ambitious enough in its application for funding. The LEP hoped to use the funding to support infrastructure projects in Kendal, Ulverston and Barrow in Furness. Plans included improving access to Ulverston to aid the ‘High Tech Sector’ in the town. The potential for a ring road south of Kendal was also discussed. Economic Growth Strategy The Economic Growth was presented to the Board for comment. The strategy outlined ways in which economic activity in South Lakeland is to be supported and how the Council’s aim of creating 1000 new jobs and building 1000 affordable homes over the next 10 years. The strategy was intended for use by all members of the Board where there activity dovetails. It was suggested that Board members should aim to integrate the Strategy into there plans by 2015.
Questions were raised over the clarity of the scope of the strategy and the need for the strategy to cover the entire District, bringing together the District Council and the two National Park Authorities. To assist in this it was suggested that the Strategy be
3 rebranded as a One South Lakeland document. More information on role of higher education in promoting economic growth was also requested. AGREED – That subject to the suggested changes being made, the Economic Growth Strategy be approved. Economic Growth Projects Update The Board was updated on Economic Growth Projects. It was reported that projects undertaken need to be more ambitious if the Council’s aims are to be met. The need to open up more land to assist in economic growth was also discussed as well as a need for greater private sector involvement.
Dan Hudson, Development Strategy Group Manager at SLDC, gave a presentation to the Board on the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). The Adoption of the Local Plan by SLDC aims to build 5,200 new homes on 60 hectares of employment land. The CIL would act as a tax on this new building. The tax is levied is approximately £50 per square meter built on, this means the average amount raised per building would be around £5000. It is estimated that the Levy will raise £17 to £18 million by 2025. The Council aims to have the CIL adopted by 2015. 15% of the money raised will go the Parish Councils where the homes are built and aims to give local communities a stake in local development. Discussion around the introduction of the CIL raised the question of whether it would act to discourage developers from building in the District.
