Deadline: 31-Jan-25

The remaining CIL funds are allocated towards strategic borough-wide infrastructure, such as SANGs or highway schemes to support and enable growth. The strategic CIL funds are allocated through the Strategic Priority Programme (SPP). The SPP sets out the priority projects the council will fund through strategic CIL and identifies the amount of funding agreed via the Strategic CIL Working Group.
The Project Application form must be completed for each project that an infrastructure provider wishes to be considered for inclusion in the SPP.
