Page 5 This page is intentionally left blank Agenda Item 4 Cabinet 15 November 2017 Council Tax Base 2018/19 and Forecast Surplus on the Council Tax Collection Fund as 31 March 2018 Key Decision: CORP/R/17/03 Report of Corporate Management Team John Hewitt, Corporate Director of Resources Councillor Alan Napier, Portfolio Holder for Finance Purpose of the Report 1 To determine the Council’s Tax Base for all domestic properties liable to pay council tax, which is an important component in the Council’s budget setting process for 2018/19 and to report on the estimated collection fund surplus as at 31 March 2018, which will need to be distributed to the principal precepting authorities in 2018/19. Background 2 Regulations made under the Local Government Finance Act 1992 (The Local Authorities (Calculation of Council Tax Base) Regulations 1992 (as amended)) require each billing authority to calculate its ‘Council Tax Base’ for the following financial year. 3 The Local Authorities (Calculation of Council Tax Base) (England) Regulations 2012 (SI 2012:2914) provides amended statutory guidance to incorporate the changes as a result of the introduction of Local Council Tax Reduction Schemes (LCTRS’s) from 1 April 2013. 4 The Council Tax Base is a measure of the County Council’s ‘taxable capacity’, for the purpose of setting its Council Tax. Legislation requires the Council to set out the formula for that calculation and that the tax base is formally approved by Cabinet. 5 Section 84 of the Local Government Act 2003 enables authorities to set their Council Tax Base, other than by a decision of the full Council, therefore, allowing Cabinet to take the necessary decisions to determine the Council Tax Base for 2018/19. 6 On 12 July 2017, Cabinet resolved to recommend to Council continuation of the current LCTRS into 2017/18. Council, on 1 November 2017, subsequently approved the continuation of the current LCTRS into 2018/19, which retains Page 7 the same level of support to all council tax payers as the previous Council Tax Benefit Scheme, which was abolished on 1 April 2013. 7 The extension to the LCTRS is for one year and the Scheme will be kept under continuous review with a further decision to be considered by Cabinet in the summer of 2018 and Full Council by January 2019 with regards to proposals for 2019/20. 8 On 12 July 2017, Cabinet approved the introduction of a Council Tax Discretionary Reduction (Relief) for Care Leavers Policy, effective from 1 April 2017, details as follows: (a) all care leavers living independently will be exempt from Council Tax up the age of 25, after consideration of entitlement to other statutory Council Tax exemptions/discounts; (b) a 50% discretionary relief is awarded to care leavers living with a partner (none care leaver), after consideration of entitlement to other statutory Council Tax exemptions/discounts; (c) a 50% discretionary relief is awarded to care leavers when part of a joint tenancy, after consideration of entitlement to other statutory Council Tax exemptions/discounts; (d) a 50% discretionary relief, where a care leaver (up to the age of 25) moves in to live with an extended family member (or another adult) living on their own and receiving single person discount.

Discover and explore spectacular grasslands, superb coastal denes and uncover the rich heritage that has shaped this coastline into a unique and fascinating place to be. Why is it so special? Durham’s Coastline is unique. Nowhere else in Britain has such a wonderful display of Magnesian Limestone Coastal Grasslands supporting a vast array of wildflowers and insects. The Northern Brown Argus butterfly can be found amongst these grasslands in the summer months and flowers such as orchids, Bloody Cranesbill, Thrift, Birds’ Eye Primrose and Common Rock Rose are a characteristic sight on the grassy cliff tops. The sound of Skylarks and Lapwings in the summer are a musical treat not to be missed. The coastal denes created at the end of the last ice age support some of the most natural woodland in North East England and provide a valuable habitat for mammals such as deer, foxes, badgers and bats.

Introduction 1.1 Produced in line with national planning policy (see paragraphs 3.2 - 3.4 for more details), this Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) provides details of infrastructure needed to support future growth as a result of the Local Plan - Housing, including the type, timing and potential costs of infrastructure. 1.2 The IDP is intended to be a 'living' document, with its content monitored on a regular basis (in all likelihood alongside the Local Plan Annual Monitoring Report [AMR]) and updated as appropriate, in order to reflect changing circumstances, including when any new Local Development Documents (LDDs) are produced as part of the overarching Local Plan. To remain up-to-date, a flow of information from (internal [i.e. Council) and external) service providers to the Planning Policy team will be required on a regular basis. 1.3 The IDP does not include every infrastructure project planned in Middlesbrough or provide a list of planning obligations; it only includes those that will help to deliver the development (i.e. housing) proposed by the Local Plan - Housing or contribute towards the creation of sustainable communities. It does, however, identify areas where gaps in provision exist or are likely to exist over the plan period.
