36. Declarations of Interests of Members in Contracts and Other Matters and Restriction on Voting by Members No other Declarations of Interest were made in addition to those already confirmed by Members in the Register of Members’ Interests.
37. Updates from Portfolio Leaders
Culture and Sport Cannock Stadium Site The Portfolio Leader advised that redevelopment of the site was progressing well. Work on the car park and allotments had been completed, and work was underway on the footpaths and lighting schemes. Corporate Improvement Rising Brook Bridge, Rugeley The Portfolio Leader advised that construction of the new footbridge was
Cabinet 19/10/17 20 underway and going well. The appearance and design of the new bridge was in keeping with the area and the project was being achieved within budget. The Economic Development and Planning Portfolio Leader further advised that the official launch of the Rugeley Flood Alleviation Scheme had been arranged for 18 December, 2017 and Members had been invited. It was intended that as part of the launch attendees would be able to visit a grotto location within the scheme area, however this was subject to it first being made safe to access. Crime and Partnerships Taxi Liaison Forum The Portfolio Leader advised that he had recently received positive impact about the Forum, specifically that is was well regarded and a model for other such Forums to follow. Mental Health in the Police Force The Portfolio Leader advised that he had been looking into sickness absence amongst Police Officers, PCSOs and Police Staff, particularly in instances where stress was the reason for absence, and how this impacted on the mental health of those off sick and those still working who were thus experiencing an increased workload. He would be raising this matter at the next meeting of the Police and Crime Panel. Furthermore, the Staffordshire Police and Crime Commissioner was applying to the Home Office for more funding as Staffordshire Police was unable to cope with its workload at its current staffing levels.
38. Minutes of Cabinet Meeting of 24 August 2017 RESOLVED: That the Minutes of the meeting held on 24 August, 2017, be approved as a correct record and signed.
39. Forward Plan The Forward Plan of Decisions for the period October to December, 2017 (Item 5.1 – 5.2 of the Official Minutes of the Council) was considered.
RESOLVED: That the Forward Plan of Decisions for the period October to December, 2017 be noted.
40. Quarter 1 Performance Report 2017-18 Consideration was given to the Report of the Head of Governance and Corporate Services (Item 6.1 – 6.28 of the Official Minutes of the Council).
RESOLVED: That (A) The performance information relating to the Priority Delivery Plans (PDPs) as detailed in Appendices 1 to 4 of the Report be noted. (B) The actions which have been flagged as requiring amendment to the timescale, scope or timeline be noted.
Cabinet 19/10/17 21 Reasons for Decisions Information for performance actions and indicators for quarter 1 2017/18 was included for relevant items in Appendices 1 to 4 of the Report. The overall rankings for each Portfolio area were detailed in section 5 of the Report, indicating that 81.3% of actions/projects had been achieved or were on target to be achieved.
41. Annual Report 2016-17 Consideration was given to the Report of the Managing Director (Item 7.1 – 7.23 of the Official Minutes of the Council).
RESOLVED: That (A) The information, achievements and investment in the District as detailed in the Annual Report be noted. (B) The Annual Report 2016/17 be approved for publication on the Council’s website.
Reasons for Decisions The Annual Report 2016/17 presented a summary of the major events, developments and investments in Cannock Chase during the year. As such, it provided a user friendly digest of key information to be presented to the Council’s residents, partners and communities.
42. Housing Services Annual Report 2016-17 Consideration was given to the Report of the Head of Housing and Partnerships (Item 8.1 – 8.27 of the Official Minutes of the Council).
RESOLVED: That: (A) The draft 2016/17 Housing Services Annual Report be agreed for circulation to all the Council’s tenants. (B) If required, the Head of Housing and Partnerships, following consultation with the Housing Portfolio Leader, be authorised to make amendments to the draft 2016/17 Housing Services Annual Report prior to circulation.
Reasons for Decisions The Council was required to publish the 2016/17 Annual Housing Report as set out in the Regulatory Standards by the Homes and Communities Agency. The Annual Report must be circulate to all tenants and this would be achieved as part of the Autumn edition of Hometalk.
43. Mandatory and Discretionary Rates Relief Policy Consideration was given to the Report of the Head of Finance (Item 9.1 – 9.21 of the Official Minutes of the Council).
Cabinet 19/10/17 22 RESOLVED: That: (A) The Mandatory and Discretionary Rate Relief Policy as detailed at Appendix 1 of the Report be adopted. (B) In particular, the Revaluation Support Scheme included in the policy be noted and adopted. (C) Officers award rate relief to affected organisations, in line with the Mandatory and Discretionary Rate Relief Policy.
Reasons for Decisions The Council had a statutory duty to consider applications for Mandatory and Discretionary Rate Relief as part of its function to administer the National Non- Domestic Rates service. The Council adopted its current policy in 2014 and the operation of that policy had worked well. The revised draft policy did not substantially change the rate of relief afforded to current recipients. The changes to the policy would: · Refresh the policy to account for any changes resulting from the 2017 revaluation of Business Rates; · Introduce new relief schemes announced in the Chancellor’s Spring 2017 budget; · Remove previous, government funded, schemes which were time related and had expired; · Make the application and award process as simple as it could be, so as to enable Officers to make awards to affected businesses quickly. The draft policy was subject to an ongoing consultation process with the Council’s major preceptors and other Billing Authorities within Staffordshire.
44. Business Rates Pilot and Pooling Arrangements Consideration was given to the Joint Report of the Head of Finance and the Managing Director (Item 10.1 – 10.45 of the Official Minutes of the Council).
RESOLVED: That: (A) Participation in the Expression of Interest to form a Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Pool based upon piloting a 100% Business Rates scheme based upon all of the eleven authorities covering the full Staffordshire geography be agreed. (B) Subject to (A) above: (i) notification be given to the existing pools of the Council’s intention to be part of a pilot application, and if successful to leave that pool; (ii) in the event of the pilot application not being successful, that the pooling arrangements for 2018/19 be based on one of the following potential options:
Cabinet 19/10/17 23 a) the current pool remain in place; b) the existing pool be dissolved; c) alternative pooling arrangements based upon a choice of the two existing pool. (C) Subject to the above, the Managing Director and Section 151 Officer, in consultation with the Leader of the Council, submit a firm Expression of Interest to be a member of the Staffordshire-wide pool. (D) For the reasons set out in the Report related to the timescale for responses, any decisions related to the determination of the proposed pool membership be not subject to call-in.
Reasons for Decisions The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) published on 1 September, 2017 an “Invitation to pilot 100% Business Rates Retention in 2018/19 and to pioneer new pooling and tier split models”. The prospectus provided a framework for the extension of the existing voluntary pooling of business rates revenues to two tier authorities, following the establishment of pilots for Devolution areas only in 2017/18. A pilot enabled 100% of future growth to be retained by the pilot area as compared to the current 50% subject to Fiscal Neutrality. Tariffs or Top Up’s were adjusted to reflect the 100% share and the relevant government grants consolidated within the Business Rates Regime. “Fiscal Neutrality” was based upon the initial (notional) baselines created at the commencement of the 50% scheme in 2013/14. There was a clear and simple financial advantage therefore if the combined current amount of Actual Business Rates Income (ABR) was in excess of the Government determined Business Rates Baseline as contained within the 50% scheme. All Staffordshire authorities were in a “growth position” with growth ranging from 1% to 14% with an average of 7% being achieved across the wider Staffordshire proposed pool for 2017/18. This net growth position was at least likely to be maintained for 2018/19 but more likely to increase. Growth within the two tier (County Council) area was estimated to be £13.7m whereas growth in Stoke on Trent City Council was forecast to be £11m. At present only 50% of such growth was retained within Staffordshire and hence an additional £12.35 Million could be retained under pilot arrangements. The creation of a pilot would see each authority receive a minimum of £200,000 additional resources in 2018/19. The actual direct benefit was based upon proposed locally agreed tier splits. The Tier splits for districts/boroughs had been maintained at 40% with this Council forecast to receive in the region of £241,000 in 2018/19. Pilots were designated for one year only however it was more than likely that pilots would remain in operation until the full 100% Business Rates Scheme was implemented. In accordance for the selection criteria for a new pilot there were three potential models for Staffordshire authorities: a) Existing Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent Pool
Cabinet 19/10/17 24 b) Two Tier Only – County Council & Districts ;or c) All eleven authorities covering the full Staffordshire Geography However it was considered that only c) All eleven authorities covering the full Staffordshire Geography would fully meet the prospectus criteria. The terms of the new pilots may be slightly different from the 2017/18 pilots with Government yet to determine whether the “no detriment” clause would still apply. This clause ensured that collectively the authorities in the pilot were no worse off than if they remained in the 50% scheme. Prospective Pilots had been asked to indicate if they would wish to proceed with a pilot if this clause was not in place. The “No Detriment Policy” was felt essential by initial pilots to mitigate the impact of volatility in relation to the transfer of existing funding streams and additional responsibilities into the Business Rates funding regime. This in itself ha been mitigated by only Revenue Support Grant and Rural Services grant being foregone under the 2018/19 arrangements. In order for a “No Detriment“ clause to be triggered, in relation to not being worse off as compared to the current 50% scheme for the Staffordshire wide pilot, there would need to be a loss of Business Rates income of in excess of 7% (£12 million) in 2018/19. Nevertheless the greatest risk in relation to net Business Rates Income was the impact of Appeals following the 2017 revaluation, and future changes in Government Policy. It was therefore proposed that the Expression of Interest was caveated with a No Detriment Clause for: · The consolidation of hereditaments as a single assessment e.g. Virgin Media; · Transfer from the Local Rating List/Central Rating Lists; · Changes in Mandatory Relief Policy / outstanding claims for Charitable Status; · Changes in the methodology of determining the basis of Rateable Values e.g. GP Surgeries; · Change in Government/Valuation Office agency (VOA) policy; · The backdated cost of new appeals post 1 April 2018. The pool itself would operate a “No Detriment / loss” policy funded as first call against additional growth retained in Staffordshire. “No loss” was determined to be that a Member would be no worse off: · by being a Member of the Pool than they would have been if they had not been a Member of the Pool. Each Member would retain the income they would have received if they were not a member of the Pool; · No Member would be worse off as compared with previous pool arrangements for Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Business Rates Pool (2012) or Greater Birmingham and Solihull Business Rates Pool; · No Member would be worse off as a result of the increased retained % arising from Tier Splits of the Pilot Scheme. Membership of the pilot would not affect the sovereignty of each authority. Each authority would still receive separate allocations from Government; would set its
Cabinet 19/10/17 25 own budget and collect and retain Business Rates. To be accepted as a new pilot for 2018/19 all parties must be designated as a pool to share business rates income. However Authorities could not be members of two pools. Authorities would therefore need to determine whether they would wish to be part of the proposed Staffordshire wide Pilot. If the pilot application was successful there would be a requirement to leave the current pools. Two pooling arrangements existed in Staffordshire. Cannock Chase; East Staffs; Lichfield and Tamworth were members of the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Pool (GBSP) with Newcastle Under Lyme; South Staffs; Stafford; Staffordshire Moorlands; Stoke on Trent; Staffordshire Fire and Rescue and Staffordshire County Council members of the Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Business Rates Pool (S&SOTP). Given the timetable for pilot applications and the proximity to the finalisation of the local government finance settlement, all applications must outline, with agreement from all participating authorities, what pooling arrangements they would like to see if their application to become a pilot were unsuccessful. The rationale of the existing pools, in addition to sharing the risk and reward, was to provide a local incentive so that a proportion of additional resources was retained by the generating authority and to provide a mechanism to support economic growth at a Local Enterprise Partnership or at a Pool area level. The adoption of the proposed “no loss” basis as compared to the 50% scheme, would maintain the status quo at a financial level. The current levy passed to the pool would be retained by each authority at the outset. The contribution to the Economic Developments partnerships i.e. LEP’S could be maintained either by: · Re-designation of the existing pools as Economic Development Growth Pools to be funded by the equivalent amount of levy as now (virtual pool); · Direct contributions to the relevant LEP based upon: a) 40% of retained levy (Current pool arrangements) b) Fixed contribution c) Lump sum / % contribution · Determined alternative arrangements with the relevant Pool/LEP. Informal discussions had taken place with the existing Pools and LEP's and the potential creation of a pilot was not considered a barrier to current membership / working relationships. The DCLG had confirmed that the GBS pool would remain open to current members in the event that the pilot application was unsuccessful. Expressions of Interest (EOI) were required by the 27 October, 2017 and subject to determination of whether the Council wished to proceed with an EOI, delegated authority to the Managing Director and Section 151 Officer was required to meet this tight deadline. Appendix D detailed the draft Governance Arrangements for the proposed pilot /pool and delegated authority was required to agree the final pooling Agreement in accordance with the principles as contained in the Memorandum of Understanding.
Cabinet 19/10/17 26 Successful pilots would be announced as part of the Draft Local Government Settlement in late November/Early December and come into effect from the 1 April, 2018.
45. Exclusion of the Public RESOLVED: That the public be excluded from the remainder of the meeting because of the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 3, Part 1, Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).

PART 2
46. Debt Recovery Consideration was given to the Not for Publication Report of the Head of Finance (Item 12.1 – 12.24 of the Official Minutes of the Council).
RESOLVED: That: (A) The amounts detailed in Appendices 1 and 2 of the Report be written off. (B) The actions of the Head of Finance in writing off the irrecoverable debts, below £1,000, be noted.
Reasons for Decisions Council Tax Set out at Appendix 1 to the Report was a list of arrears over £1,000 which could not be collected for the reasons stated. Included in the Appendix were 38 cases with arrears totalling £69,463.06 All of the amounts written off would be charged against the provision for bad debts. Non-Domestic Rates Set out at Appendix 2 to the Report was a list of Non-Domestic arrears over £1,000 which could not be collected for the reasons stated. Included in the Appendix were 28 cases with arrears totalling £179,882.33. Some of the Business Rates debts were being recommended for write-off on the grounds of insolvency of the companies that previously occupied properties. It was not uncommon in these circumstances for the properties concerned to be re-occupied, fairly quickly, by new companies often with similar names to the insolvent organisation. It often therefore appeared that the company had continued to trade, though this was not the case. Where this situation occurred, the new occupier was an entirely separate legal entity to the previous occupant and could not be held liable for rates due from the insolvent company. Members were assured that such debts were only submitted for write-off when the Council was sure that the debts could not be recovered.

CABINET 16 NOVEMBER 2017 SHARED SERVICES – PHASE 2
1 Purpose of Report
1.1 To provide an update on the development of further Shared Services between Cannock Chase District Council and Stafford Borough Council and to agree the next steps.
2 Recommendations
2.1 To approve the sharing of the following services:
(i) Information Governance – to be led by Cannock Chase District Council; and
(ii) Pest & Dog Control – to be led by Stafford Borough Council. A further report will be submitted in due course outlining the service level agreement and seeking permission to delegate the provision of the service to Stafford Borough Council.
2.2 That agreement is given to widening the scope of services to be considered for sharing to include the wider remit of Environmental Services (this will include Streetscene, Grounds Maintenance, Parks & Open Spaces and Trees).
2.3 That agreement is given to commissioning an independent options appraisal jointly with Stafford Borough Council to consider all options for the future delivery of Environmental Services. ITEM NO. 6.2
3 Key Issues and Reasons for Recommendation
3.1 Following the agreement of a Memorandum of Understanding between Cannock Chase District Council and Stafford Borough Council in 2009, the first phase of Shared Services commenced in 2011.
3.2 As part of the Financial Recovery Plan, as reflected in the General Fund Revenue Budget Medium Term Financial Plan, agreed by Council February 2017, it was agreed that consideration be given to sharing further services with Stafford Borough Council. Officers of the 2 councils have been exploring this and outline business cases have been developed for:
(i) Environmental Health;
(ii) Planning Services; and
(iii) Information Governance.
3.3 The work done so far indicates that whilst savings could be achieved from the sharing of these services, more work is necessary before a final conclusion can be reached. The main issue is the scoping of the Environmental Health Service as there are significant differences in the service profile for the 2 councils which make it difficult to agree the parameters of the service to be shared. It is therefore necessary to widen the scope of the services to be considered for sharing to the broader remit of Environmental Services. This will also significantly increase the opportunities for savings to be delivered for both Councils and other benefits such as increased resilience in service delivery.
3.4 Given the nature and scale of Environmental Services, it is proposed that an independent options appraisal, including service delivery options, be commissioned. The cost of the options appraisal will be met jointly from the Shared Services reserves of both Councils.
3.5 Although it is proposed to delay the decision on sharing of Environmental Health Services pending the outcome of the wider review of Environmental Services, it is proposed to proceed with the sharing of the Pest and Dog Control Service. Since Cannock Chase District Council’s contractor, Mitie, decided to terminate its contract early, Stafford Borough Council has stepped in to provide the service. It is now proposed to establish this more permanently as a shared service between with the two councils with Stafford Borough Council acting as the lead authority. This will allow greater opportunities to integrate the service provision.
3.6 A business case has been established for a shared Information Governance service on the basis that this is a specialist service with limited resources so it would seem sensible to share expertise. Cannock Chase District Council will act as the lead authority for this service as it has an appropriately experienced Data Protection Officer and Stafford Borough Council does not have an equivalent resource. Stafford Borough Council will contribute £20,000 per annum towards the cost of the provision of a comprehensive Information Governance service. ITEM NO. 6.3
4 Relationship to Corporate Priorities
4.1 This report supports the Council’s Corporate Priority of “Making the best use of limited resources”.
5 Report Detail
5.1 Cannock Chase District Council (CCDC) has been sharing a range of services with Stafford Borough Council (SBC) since 2011. The services currently shared are:
Services Led by CCDC Services Led by SBC
Finance and Revenues & Benefits Legal Services
Audit, Risk & Resilience and Procurement Human Resources
Building Control Information Technology
In addition, the Councils also share 2 key statutory posts i.e. the s151 Officer and the Monitoring Officer. Sharing services has saved both Councils £580,000 each per annum.
5.2 In view of the changes to and reductions in local government funding, both Cannock Chase District Council and Stafford Borough Council have identified the need to identify opportunities to make efficiency savings. As part of their respective budget processes both Councils decide to consider the possibility of sharing further services in order to generate savings. Each Cabinet agreed that consideration should be given to sharing the following services:
(i) Environmental Health;
(ii) Planning Services; and
(iii) Information Governance.
5.3 Officers of the 2 councils have been working together and have produced outline business cases for each of the 3 services.
5.4 The Shared Services Strategic Board met on 1 August to consider the outline business cases. The Strategic Board comprises:
· Tony McGovern, Managing Director for CCDC;
· Tim Clegg, Chief Executive for SBC; ITEM NO. 6.4
· Judith Aupers, Shared Services Lead Officer for CCDC; and
· Neville Raby, Shared Services Lead Officer for SBC
5.5 Whilst the work done so far on the outline business cases indicates that savings could be achieved by sharing services, agreeing the scope of the Environmental Health Service has proved to be problematic. This is due to the differences in the service profile in place at the 2 Councils. If Stafford Borough Council were to “match” their services to the remit of the services referred to as Environmental Health at Cannock Chase District Council it would result in a much narrower share and vice versa.. The 2 main options are:
(i) to narrow the scope so that the services to be shared achieve a “direct” match in terms of the existing service profile but this would limit the opportunities and savings that could be achieved; or
(ii) to widen the scope to include Environmental Services. This option would significantly increase the opportunities to deliver savings and create other benefits e.g. resilience in the delivery of the services.
5.6 Widening the scope to “Environmental Services” is the preferred option given that it will increase the opportunities for both Councils rather than limiting them. However, this will necessitate further work being undertaken. Due to the scale of the wider proposal and the limited capacity available internally to support this work, it is proposed that an independent options appraisal be commissioned. It is proposed that the review should consider all of the service delivery options for Environmental Services and not be limited just to the creation of a shared service. This will allow for the consideration of other models such as the setting up of a Local Authority trading company, outsourcing all or parts of the service or internal cost reductions. The review will need to take into account the financial and operational implications for both Environmental Services and the Council overall including VAT, Pension Costs and the potential impact on the operation of back office services. The Shared Services Strategic Board will be responsible for determining the scope of the options appraisal and overseeing the procurement of a suitably qualified and experienced consultant to undertake the review. It is proposed that the cost of this options appraisal will be met jointly from the Shared Services reserves held by both Councils.
5.7 The independent options appraisal of Environmental Services will be overseen by the Shared Services Strategic Board (acting as the Project Board) whilst the day to day work will be supported by the Shared Services Programme Board (acting as the Working Group). The Shared Services Programme Board comprises the current shared Heads of Services and the respective Heads of Service with responsibility for Environmental Services will be invited to join the Programme Board to support the options appraisal. The Shared Services Lead officers will take the lead on commissioning the independent options appraisal and acting as the key point of contact.
5.8 Although, it is proposed to delay the decision on sharing of Environmental Health Services pending the outcome of the wider review of Environmental Services, it is proposed to proceed with the sharing of the Pest and Dog Control Service. Since Cannock Chase District Council’s contractor, Mitie, decided to terminate ITEM NO. 6.5
its contract early, Stafford Borough Council has stepped in to provide the service.
It is now proposed to establish this more permanently as a shared service between with the two councils with Stafford Borough Council acting as the lead authority. This will allow greater opportunities to integrate the service provision. There are no direct staffing implications (i.e. TUPE) arising from this. Cannock Chase Council has currently estimated a service requirement of £32,300 for the pest and dog control service but this will need to be revisited, along with the Service Level Agreement, as part of the move to this being a shared service. A further report to Cabinet will be needed in due course regarding delegated authority for the pest and dog control service.
5.9 Whilst work continues on looking at the options for sharing Environmental Services it is not possible to proceed with the sharing of Planning Services as it is necessary for services to be shared in “pairs” under the model of shared services adopted in 2011. Furthermore, a number of issues have been raised in the outline business case which requires further consideration. Arrangements will be put in place to facilitate the two planning services work together to explore these issues further.
5.10 A business case has been approved by the Strategic Board to establish a shared Information Governance service on the basis that this is a specialist service with limited resources so it would seem sensible to share expertise. The proposal to share comes at time when new regulations are being introduced and both Councils are faced with reviewing their processes.
5.11 The Data Protection Act 1998 places obligations upon all organisations processing personal data, to ensure it is done fairly and lawfully. Since the introduction of the 1998 Act the way in which personal data is collected, stored and utilised has changed considerably as new technology has advanced. This has created opportunities for businesses to modernise processes, but has also created risks in the ease by which personal data can now be processed. Since 2010, the Information Commissioner has been given the power to issue monetary penalties of up to £500,000 to any body in serious breach of the Act. A number of local authorities have been issued with substantial penalties over the last few years. In May 2018, there will be a major change in this area, when the Act will be replaced by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The regulation provides greater rights for individuals with regard to how their information is processed. It also places express obligations on the Council to demonstrate how it complies with the data protection principles. The maximum level of penalty for a breach of the regulations will be increased to 2,000,000 Euros or 4% of turnover, whichever is greater. As part of its functions, the Council processes a large amount of personal data about its residents. Under the new regulations it will be increasingly important for the council to show how it has designed its systems to protect personal data and for its officers to keep on top of the rights of individuals in accessing their data.
5.12 To ensure compliance with the new duties, a specialist resource is required with experience and expertise in the field. As Cannock Chase District Council already has a suitably qualified and experienced officer, it will act as the lead ITEM NO. 6.6
authority for this service. Sharing the service will allow the officer to provide the service to both Councils which will have the benefit of avoiding duplication of effort across both Councils and also providing consistency of policy and approach which is desirable when the Councils are sharing substantial services.
5.13 Each Council will however maintain its own separate arrangements to appoint a Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) to take overall responsibility for the area and to designate an officer as the Data Protection Officer (DPO). For Cannock Chase Council, the Head of Governance & Corporate Services will act as the SIRO and the Information Manager will be the designated DPO. For Stafford Borough Council, the role of DPO will continue to be held by the Legal Services Manager and the role of SIRO be held by the Head of Law and Administration. This arrangement will provide for SBC officers continuing to offer legal advice on data protection and freedom of information matters and to work with the Information Manager at CCDC.
5.14 Stafford Borough Council will contribute £20,000 per annum towards the cost of the provision of a comprehensive Information Governance service. There are no direct staffing implications (i.e. TUPE) arising from this. In the first year, the £20,000 will be used to fund a temporary resource and training costs associated with the implementation of the new regulations across both Councils. It is anticipated that there will need to be a review of the staffing arrangements for the provision of the shared service on an ongoing basis but all costs will be contained within the £20,000 funding.
5.15 The Councils are keen to press ahead with the shared service Information Governance service quickly as the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) come into force in May 2018 and work needs to be done ahead of this to support officers in ensuring that the Council is compliant. It is therefore proposed that CCDC officers will start to provide some training and support for SBC ahead of the formal signing of the service level agreement.
6 Implications
6.1 Financial
No provision currently exists within the General Fund Revenue Budget for savings arising from further shared services. A deficit of £181,000 currently exists in relation to the 2019/20 budget with the savings from additional Shared Services providing one of the options to provide an ongoing sustainable budget.
The savings target for the sharing of front line services is lower than that used for back office services – an average of 8% rather than 15%. This is based on savings achieved by other Councils and reflects the need to preserve front line service delivery. Widening the scope from Environmental Health to Environmental Services will significantly increase the opportunities to deliver savings. ITEM NO. 6.7
The commissioning of an independent options appraisal to consider all options for the future delivery of Environmental Services can be met from the Shared Services reserves.
6.2 Legal
Stafford Borough Council will retain legal responsibility for information governance under the proposals. The pest and dog control proposals may require the delegation of functions from Cannock Chase District Council to Stafford Borough Council as permitted by Section 19 of the Local Government Act 2000 and Section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972.
6.3 Human Resources
The proposal to share Information Governance and Pest & Dog Control does not involve any additional staffing implications under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 as amended by the Collective Redundancies and Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (Amendment) Regulations 2014. Any implications for staff as a consequence of the independent options appraisal will be considered at the time.

The overall rankings for each Portfolio area are detailed in Section 5 below, indicating that 85.1% of actions/projects have been achieved or are on target to be achieved.
4 Relationship to Corporate Priorities
4.1 This report supports the Council’s Corporate Priorities as follows:
(i) The indicators and actions contribute individually to the Council’s Strategic Objectives as set out in the Corporate Plan 2015-18. ITEM NO. 7.2
5 Report Detail
5.1 The Council’s Corporate Plan 2015-18 was approved by Cabinet on 23 June 2015, superseding the previous Corporate Plan for 2011-14 and setting out the revised mission, priorities and strategic objectives of Cannock Chase District Council for the next three years.
5.2 The supporting Priority Delivery Plans (PDPs) are the annual documents that set out how the Council will achieve progress against its strategic objectives; these plans establish the actions, performance measures and timetables for delivery that are the basis of the Council’s quarterly and annual performance reporting framework.
5.3 The PDPs include “Direction of Travel” performance indicators (PIs) and actions outlining the significant projects and initiatives being undertaken by the Council in regard to the strategic objectives.
5.4 The Lead Officers for each of the projects/actions have provided a commentary on performance and a rating and these are included in Appendices 1-4. A summary of progress, by rating, is given in the table at 5.6. The projects/actions are rated according to the system illustrated below.

One of the elements of the policy will include collective serving of Community Protection Notice Warning (CPNW) Letters & Community Protection Notices (CPNs) on partnership headed paper. The notice or letter will be deemed to be served by all partners and it is their collective responsibility to collect any evidence of breach. The onus on serving the paperwork would still sit with Police, Housing, Env Health but the response to issues being addressed under the Community Safety Hubs authority.
The corporate policy will demonstrate good partnership working and multi-agency opinions would hopefully ensure that the terms of any notices were proportionate and practical.
Additionally, it would solve our ongoing issues re: accurate monitoring of who has received such notices, whilst also raising greater awareness amongst partners to assist with evidencing breaches.

CABINET 16 NOVEMBER 2017 STRATEGIC RISK REGISTER
1 Purpose of Report
1.1 To set out details of the Council’s Strategic Risk Register as at 1st October 2017 and Risk Management arrangements for managing the Strategic Risks facing the Council.
2 Recommendations
2.1 That Cabinet approves the Strategic Risk Register and considers the progress made in the identification and management of the strategic risks.
3 Key Issues and Reasons for Recommendation
3.1 All strategic risks and associated action plans have been reviewed and the Council’s risk profile is summarised in the table below:
Risk Colour Number of Risks at Number of Risks at 1 April 2017 1 Oct 2017 Red 1 1 Amber 5 5 Green 0 0 TOTAL 6 6 ITEM NO. 8.2
4 Relationship to Corporate Priorities
4.1 This report supports the Council’s Corporate Priorities as follows:-
(i) Risk management is a systematic process by which key business risks / opportunities are identified, prioritised and controlled so as to contribute towards the achievement of the Council’s aims and objectives.
(ii) The strategic risks set out in the Appendices have been categorised against the Council’s priorities.
5 Report Detail
5.1 The Accounts & Audit Regulations 2015 state that: “A relevant body must ensure that it has a sound system of internal control which:- (a) facilitates the effective exercise of its functions and the achievement of its aims and objectives; (b) ensures that the financial and operational management of the authority is effective; and (c) includes effective arrangements for the management of risk.”
5.2 Risk can be defined as uncertainty of outcome (whether positive opportunity or negative threat). Risk is ever present and some amount of risk-taking is inevitable if the council is to achieve its objectives. The aim of risk management is to ensure that the council makes cost-effective use of a risk process that has a series of well-defined steps to support better decision making through good understanding of risks and their likely impact.
Management of Strategic Risks / Opportunities 5.3 Central to the risk management process is the identification, prioritisation and management of strategic risks / opportunities. Strategic risks / opportunities have been identified and prioritised, action plans are in place for their effective management and delivery of the action plans is monitored. A summary of the Council’s strategic risk register as at 1st October 2017 is attached at Appendix 1.
The risk summary illustrates the risks / opportunities using the “traffic light” method i.e.
RED risk score 12 and above (action plan required to reduce risk and/or regular monitoring) AMBER risk score 5 to 10 (action plan required to reduce risk) GREEN risk score below 5 (risk tolerable, no action plan required) ITEM NO. 8.3
5.4 The number of strategic risks has remained at 6 as follows:
· No new risks have been identified and no risks have been deleted
5.5 No risk scores have changed in the period – Risk 18 remains as Red due to the uncertainty caused by the lack of clarity over the future impact of the New Homes Bonus and Business Rates Retention. This uncertainty has been made worse by the exclusion of the Local Government Finance Bill from the current legislative programme. The Chancellor’s Budget Statement in November may provide some clarity.
5.6 A progress update for those actions due up to the end of September 2017 is included in the full strategic risk register attached at Appendix 2.
5.7 Additional information for red and amber risks can be found in the Strategic Risk Register (Appendix 2) in the form of an ‘Overall Progress Summary’ this is accompanied by a symbol to indicate whether progress is on target or otherwise.
The table below outlines the overall progress made in reducing risks since 1st April 2017:

Overall Progress Summary: The full impact of benefit reform cannot be determined until the phased introduction of AMBER Universal Credits. The impact of existing reforms continues to be monitored.

Overall Progress Summary: The Approved Budget and Plan currently reflects an ongoing shortfall of £0.180 million however an action plan exists to address this. The Financial Plan is based upon the opening of Mill Green DOV in 2019 and forms part of the Risk assessment for the Financial Plan. The financial position of the Council is being AMBER updated on a regular basis however the key risks and uncertainty relate to the potential changes to Business Rates (and New Homes Bonus ). The exclusion of the Local Government Finance Bill from the Governments legislative programme means that detail of such changes and timescales for implementation are currently on hold. However clarification may be provided as part of the Chancellor’s Budget statement in November 2017. ITEM NO. 8.10
Ref No: 19 Risk: The organisation does not have sufficient Management / Officer capacity to deliver its corporate priorities (e.g. Corporate Plan & PDPs) and statutory duties.

Overall Progress Summary: A Senior Management Restructure was approved in February 2017 reflecting the AMBER Council’s Financial Recovery Plan. This proposal reduced senior management capacity in the organisation in order to create financial savings and was implemented with effect from April 2017. There is therefore an increased risk that there is not sufficient management capacity to address unforeseen events and that the delivery of Council priorities will be slower with less management capacity overall. The effectiveness of the structure is therefore dependant upon changes to the number of Scrutiny committees and changes to Cabinet Portfolios to ensure each Head of service supports a maximum of one Scrutiny committee and two Cabinet Members. The Councils management capacity will be monitored closely and action has already been taken by not accepting new project requests in year in order to protect capacity to deliver the agreed PDP priorities. Leadership Team have recently started to review delivery of the Council's General Fund and S106 Capital Programme and will be considering in further detail the need for additional project and programme management capacity ITEM NO. 8.12

CABINET 16 NOVEMBER 2017 PUBLICATION OF PART 1 BROWNFIELD LAND REGISTER
1 Purpose of Report
1.1 To provide a background to the publication of the Council’s first Part 1 Brownfield Land Register and future steps related to Part 2 of the Register.
1.2 To consider and approve publication of the Council’s first Part 1 Brownfield Land Register.
1.3 To consider and approve delegated authority for the publication of future Part 1 Brownfield Land Register updates.
2 Recommendations
2.1 That the publication of the Council’s first Part 1 Brownfield Land Register is approved.
2.2 That the Head of Economic Development, in consultation with the Economic Development and Planning Portfolio Leader, be delegated authority to approve any consultations related to the Brownfield Land Register and the publication of future versions of the Council’s Part 1 Brownfield Land Register until such time as a Part 2 Register is produced (see recommendation 2.3).
2.3 That the next steps in relation to producing a Part 2 Brownfield Land Register are noted, including the different approval mechanisms required and a further report being required. ITEM NO. 9.2
3 Key Issues and Reasons for Recommendations
3.1 The Housing and Planning Act 2016 introduced a requirement (Section 151) for Local Planning Authorities to produce and maintain a ‘Register of Land’ (Section 14A inserted into the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004). The Housing and Planning Act 2016 also introduced the ability for ‘Permission in Principle’ to be granted to residential-led development (Section 150) via a planning application route (for non-major development) or via a ‘qualifying document’ allocation i.e. within a Local Plan development document or the ‘Register of Land’ (Sections 58A and 59A inserted into the Town and Country Planning Act 1990). The details followed in two sets of regulations.
3.2 The Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017 (hereafter referred to as the Register Regulations) came into force on 16th April 2017. They place a duty of the Council to prepare, maintain and publish a register of previously developed land (commonly known as brownfield land) which is suitable for residential development. These set out the detailed requirements for Brownfield Land Registers including the requirement for a register to be kept in two parts; criteria for what sites should be entered; the information to be entered into the register; publicity, consultation and representation requirements for Part 2 of the register; exemptions from the register; and the requirement for the first Brownfield Land Register to be published by 31st December 2017 and updated at least annually thereafter.
3.3 The Town and Country Planning (Permission in Principle) Order 2017 came into force on 15th April 2017. In effect, this enables sites on Part 2 of a Brownfield Land Register to be granted ‘Permission in Principle’ for residential development following mandatory publicity and consultation requirements being satisfied.
3.4 The Government recently published (28th July 2017) within the National Planning Practice Guidance specific guidance to support Local Planning Authorities in the production of Brownfield Land Registers. This includes a specified template for the Part 1 Register to be completed and submitted to Government, when requested.
3.5 The Council’s first Part 1 Brownfield Land Register has been produced in accordance with the relevant regulations and guidance (see Appendix 1). It is recommended for approval to be published by the 31st December 2017 in order to meet the deadline set in legislation.
3.6 The Council is not required to produce a Part 2 Register by the 31st December 2017. There is currently no deadline set for the production of Part 2. The next steps in relation to production of a Part 2 Register are set out for information. ITEM NO. 9.3
4 Relationship to Corporate Priorities
4.1 This report supports the Council’s Corporate Priorities as follows:
o Better Jobs and Skills: housing developments can help support local employment generation and investment.
o More and better housing: brownfield land is an important source of housing land supply and additional monitoring will assist identification of potential housing development sites.
o Cleaner and Safer Environments: housing developments can contribute to safer and cleaner environments by bringing investment and providing new amenity environments. Brownfield sites can particularly assist improved environments where redeveloped appropriately.
o Better Health Outcomes: housing developments can contribute to delivering infrastructure which can enable people to liver healthier lives, for example walking and cycling routes. Good quality housing also supports healthy outcomes.
Accurate monitoring and recording brownfield sites available for housing development also supports the ‘Customers’ priority area by providing readily available information to local residents, developers and other interested stakeholders.
5 Report Detail
Introduction
5.1 The Housing and Planning Act 2016 introduced a requirement (Section 151) for Local Planning Authorities to produce and maintain a ‘Register of Land’ (Section 14A inserted into the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004). The Housing and Planning Act 2016 also introduced the ability for ‘Permission in Principle’ to be granted to residential-led development (Section 150) via a planning application route (for non-major development) or via a ‘qualifying document’ allocation i.e. within a Local Plan development document or the ‘Register of Land’ (Sections 58A and 59A inserted into the Town and Country Planning Act 1990). The details followed in two sets of regulations. .
5.2 The Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017 (hereafter referred to as the Register Regulations) came into force on 16th April 2017. They place a duty of the Council to prepare, maintain and publish a register of previously developed land (commonly known as brownfield land) which is suitable for residential development. These set out the detailed requirements for Brownfield Land Registers including the requirement for a register to be kept in two parts; criteria for what sites should be entered; the information to be entered into the register; publicity, consultation and representation requirements for Part 2 of the register; exemptions from the ITEM NO. 9.4
register; and the requirement for the first Brownfield Land Register to be published by 31st December 2017 and updated at least annually thereafter.
5.3 The Town and Country Planning (Permission in Principle) Order 2017 came into force on 15th April 2017. In effect, this enables sites on Part 2 of a Brownfield Land Register to be granted ‘Permission in Principle’ for residential development following mandatory publicity and consultation requirements being satisfied.
5.4 The Government recently published (28th July 2017) within the National Planning Practice Guidance specific guidance to support Local Planning Authorities in the production of Brownfield Land Registers. This includes a specified template for the Part 1 Register to be completed and submitted to Government, when requested.
Part 1 Brownfield Land Register
5.5 Part 1 of a Brownfield Land Register will comprise all brownfield sites that a local planning authority has assessed as appropriate for residential development, having carried out any procedures such as consultation which they consider appropriate. This will include sites with extant full planning permission, outline planning permission and permission in principle as well as sites without planning permission. It will inform a Part 2 Register (see further detail below). The Council’s first Part 1 Brownfield Land Register has been produced in accordance with the relevant regulations and guidance (see Appendix 1). It is recommended for approval to be published by the 31st December 2017 in order to meet the deadline set in legislation.
5.6 The Part 1 Brownfield Land Register has been produced using the template from the national planning guidance (set out within ‘Brownfield Land Registers Data Standard: Preparing and publishing a register’, 2017), which will ultimately be requested by Government as part of local authority monitoring requirements. It follows an ‘open data standard’ and contains mandatory and optional information fields as well as a series of pre-set options for responses. By following this template, the Council can ensure compliance with the necessary regulations.
5.7 The Register Regulations and the National Planning Practice Guidance set out that the National Planning Policy Framework definition of previously development land should be used to identify brownfield sites in the first instance. This is “land which is or was occupied by a permanent structure, including the curtilage of the developed land (although it should not be assumed that the whole of the curtilage should be developed) and any associated fixed surface infrastructure. This excludes: land that is or has been occupied by agricultural or forestry buildings; land that has been developed for minerals extraction or waste disposal by landfill purposes where provision for restoration has been made through development control procedures; land in built up areas such as private residential gardens, parks, recreation grounds and allotments; and land that was previously developed but where the remains of the permanent structure or fixed surface structure have blended into the landscape in the process of time” . ITEM NO. 9.5
5.8 In deciding which brownfield sites to include in the Brownfield Land Register, the Council must have regard to the criteria set out in Regulation 4 of the Register Regulations which stipulate the following:
(a) the land has an area of at least 0.25 hectares or is capable of supporting at least 5 dwellings; (b) the land is suitable for residential development; (c) the land is available for residential development; and (d) residential development of the land is achievable.
Specific definitions of ‘suitable’, ‘available’ and ‘achievable’ are also provided in Register Regulations to inform the decision making process. In addition to the criteria set out in Regulation 4, Section 14A of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires local planning authorities to have regard to the development plan; national policies and advice; any guidance issued by the Secretary of State. This includes development plan documents, any relevant neighbourhood plans, the National Planning Policy Framework, Planning Practice Guidance, any other guidance published by the Secretary of State, and any other relevant statutory requirements and guidance. In relation to bullet point (a), the Register Regulations state that sites below this threshold can be considered if paragraphs (b) to (d) above are satisfied.
5.9 In order to identify appropriate sites to include on the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register the Council’s existing database of potential residential sites across the District has been drawn upon. This is the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) which is produced on an annual basis to provide an up to date assessment of the housing land supply that is available to meet the District’s housing requirements. The Council’s SHLAA readily identifies sites as either ‘greenfield’ or ‘brownfield’ and already contains some of the information required to complete the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register e.g. site area, number of dwellings, planning status and whether or not it is suitable, available and achievable. This is in accordance with the National Planning Practice Guidance which advises that Councils’ existing SHLAAs be used to inform the Brownfield Land Register process. The ‘Methodology for site selection’ section in Appendix 1 detail how sites have been selected from the SHLAA for inclusion on the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register.
5.10 The most recent version of the SHLAA was published in October 2017 (information up to date as at 31st March 2017). Various sources of evidence are used to inform this assessment including planning application records; building control records; submissions from landowners/developers promoting sites for development (via a ‘Call for Sites’ consultation process which invites stakeholders to submit updated information on sites and/or new sites and is open all year round) including publicly owned land that has/is being reviewed as part of estates review work. The 2017 SHLAA updated has also been informed by the recent Local Plan (Part 2) Issues and Options consultation (January- March 2017) where comments on existing sites and submissions for new sites were invited. ITEM NO. 9.6
5.11 The Register Regulations and supporting guidance do not specify any requirements for consultation for the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register. It is at the discretion of the Local Planning Authority as to what additional consultation they undertake on the Part 1 Register. The National Planning Practice Guidance advises that Councils’ can utilise existing consultation processes for their SHLAAs to inform the register and consider any additional procedures that may be useful for identifying sites.
5.12 Given the timescales for adoption of the Brownfield Land Register (by 31st December 2017) and that the guidance has only recently being published (28th July 2017) it has not been possible to undertake additional consultation specifically for Part 1 of the Register in 2017. Furthermore it was considered that the evidence which has informed the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register for 2017 has been subject to wide ranging public consultation as part of the existing SHLAA processes and the recent Local Plan (Part 2) Issues and Options consultation in particular i.e. people could comment on existing sites and propose new sites for consideration. As part of the annual SHLAA update, the Council issues a reminder ‘Call for Sites’ to key stakeholders including parish councils, landowners and developers and other interested parties. The Council also consults a SHLAA ‘Panel’ which is an informal group that advises on the content of the SHLAA and is made up primarily of neighbouring local authorities and development industry representatives.
5.13 It is therefore considered that the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register for 2017 has been informed by consultation, albeit not directly, and that this approach is in accordance with national planning guidance and the Council’s adopted Statement of Community Involvement (2014). The need for specific consultations for future updates of the Brownfield Land Register will be kept under review, undertaken in accordance with the Council’s adopted Statement of Community Involvement (2014) and with the approval of the Head of Economic Development, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder.
5.14 The final version of the Council’s first Part 1 Brownfield Land Register is therefore considered to be in accordance with the regulatory requirements and has taken into account national planning guidance as well as local planning guidance and evidence. It will be published on the Council’s website and a hard copy provided in the Civic Centre offices (in accordance with Regulation 16 of the Register Regulations) by the 31st December 2017 (in accordance with Regulation 3 of the Register Regulations). The Council is required to produce an update of the Brownfield Land Register at least annually (in accordance with Regulation 17 of the Register Regulations).
Part 2 Brownfield Land Register
5.15 Part 2 of a Brownfield Land Register is a subset of Part 1. Part 2 will comprise only those sites in Part 1 that the local planning authority has decided that the land would be suitable for a grant of permission in principle for residential development. The permission in principle consent route is an alternative way of obtaining planning permission which separates the consideration of matters of principle for proposed development from the technical detail of the development. The permission in principle consent route has 2 stages: the first stage (or ITEM NO. 9.7
permission in principle stage) establishes whether a site is suitable in-principle for residential development, and the second (‘technical details consent’) stage is when the detailed development proposals are assessed.
5.16 The Council is not required to produce a Part 2 Brownfield Land Register by the 31st December 2017 as Local Planning Authorities are not obliged to enter land onto a Part 2 Register unless they consider it suitable for a grant of permission in principle for residential development. There is currently no deadline set for the production of Part 2. The next steps in relation to production of a Part 2 Brownfield Land Register are set out for information.
5.17 By entering land onto a Part 2 Brownfield Land Register, the Local Planning Authority is granting that site Permission in Principle for residential development. As such there are specific consultation and information requirements for Part 2, which go over and above that required for Part 1. These requirements are similar to those currently undertaken for planning applications at present.
5.18 There are exemptions for certain types of land which can not be entered onto a Part 2 Brownfield Land Register (Regulation 14 of the Register Regulations). Crucially, and particularly applicable in the Cannock Chase District context, a Local Planning Authority must not enter land in Part 2 where residential development of that land could be habitats development. Habitats development means development which is likely to have a significant effect on a qualifying European site (either alone or in combination with other plans or projects) and is not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site.
5.19 The Cannock Chase Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is a qualifying European site located within Cannock Chase District and Stafford Borough. Evidence to inform the Local Plan (Part 1) identified that as a result of an increase in net dwellings in the District (and in combination with residential developments in surrounding local authorities) there were likely to be significant effects on this site due to increased recreational pressures. Whilst there is now in place a package of mitigation measures and supporting funding mechanisms to address this (see Cannock Chase Special Area of Conservation Guidance to Mitigate the Impact of New Residential Development, 2017) the Register Regulations do not include any provisions for mitigation measures. If land is habitats development, regardless of subsequent mitigation measures, then it can not be included on a Part 2 Brownfield Land Register for residential development.
5.20 Consequently it appears to be the case that Cannock Chase Council will not be able to proceed with a Part 2 Register at this time. Further advice from Government is being sought on this issue and an updated position will be reported once available.
5.21 Should the Council be able to proceed with the publication of a Part 2 Brownfield Land Register then this would require alternative approval procedures to that currently being proposed for the Part 1 Register and a further report will be submitted to address this accordingly. ITEM NO. 9.8
Staffing Implications
5.22 The Government has recognised that the responsibilities for the production of the Brownfield Land Register will place an additional burden upon existing resources. As a result the Council has received a ‘new burdens’ grant payment of £14,645 in March 2017. Further payments area anticipated in 2017/18, 2018/19 and 2019/20 with the level of payment currently being reviewed.
5.23 It is proposed to ‘package’ the new burdens payments forthcoming from Government for Brownfield Land Registers and Self and Custom Build Housing, together with savings from a vacant part-time post, to create a full time fixed term appointment. The post holder would have responsibility for maintaining and reviewing the Brownfield Land Registers along with other duties. The availability of this post is subject to the continued receipt of new burdens grant payments in future years and does not impact upon the General Fund.
6 Implications
6.1 Financial
The Government have identified that the requirement for local authorities to prepare and maintain a register of brownfield land that is suitable for residential development will place new burdens on local authorities.
As such each local planning authority received a grant of £14,645 in 2016-17 and there will be further grants each year between 2017-18 and 2019-20; however the amount of the grant will be kept under review.
As referred to below the funding received will help the Planning Team meet any costs associated with the new register, however should this funding cease, then any costs will need to be contained within existing budgets.
6.2 Legal
The legal implications are set out in the report.
6.3 Human Resources
The production of a Brownfield Land Register places additional burdens upon the Local Planning Authority. In recognition of this, the new burdens funding received by Government will assist in resourcing the planning team to help meet the new requirements.
6.4 Section 17 (Crime Prevention)
None.
6.5 Human Rights Act
None. ITEM NO. 9.9
6.6 Data Protection
None.
6.7 Risk Management
A risk assessment has been undertaken. The main area of risk relates to non compliance with the Brownfield Land Register Regulations, however this has been minimised through the production of this report and the Part 1 Register which has been produced in fulfilment of the Council’s Duty in that regard.
6.8 Equality & Diversity
None.

Background
This is the Councils first Part 1 Brownfield Land Register, published in December 2017 following Cabinet approval (see Cabinet Report 29/11/17 at http://www.cannockchasedc.gov.uk/council/committees-council ).
The Housing and Planning Act 2016 introduced a requirement for Local Planning Authorities to produce and maintain a ‘Register of Land’. The subsequent Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017 came into force on 16th April 2017. These set out the detailed requirements for Brownfield Land Registers including the requirement for a register to be kept in two parts; criteria for what sites should be entered; the information to be entered into the register; publicity, consultation and representation requirements for Part 2 of the register; exemptions from the register; and the requirement for the first Part 1 Brownfield Land Register to be published by 31 st December 2017 and updated at least annually thereafter. The register is to be focused on sites for residential-led development.
The Housing and Planning Act 2016 introduced the ability for ‘Permission in Principle’ to be granted to residential-led development via the ‘Register of Land’. The subsequent Town and Country Planning (Permission in Principle) Order 2017 came into force on 15 th April 2017. In effect, this enables sites on Part 2 of a Brownfield Land Register to be granted ‘Permission in Principle’ for residential development when enacted with the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017.
Part 1 of a Brownfield Land Register will comprise all brownfield sites that a local planning authority has assessed as appropriate for residential development. This will include sites with extant full planning permission, outline planning permission and permission in principle as well as sites without planning permission. It will inform a Part 2 Brownfield Land Register.
Part 2 of the Register is a subset of Part 1. Part 2 will comprise only those sites in Part 1 that the local planning authority has decided that the land would be suitable for a grant of permission in principle for residential development. The permission in principle consent route is an alternative way of obtaining planning permission which separates the consideration of matters of principle for proposed development from the technical detail of the development. There is currently no deadline set for the production of Part 2 Brownfield Land Register for Cannock Chase District (see Cabinet Report 29/11/17 for further details).
1 ITEM NO. 9.13
The National Planning Practice Guidance provides specific information to support Local Planning Authorities in the production of Brownfield Land Registers. This includes a specified template for the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register (set out within the ‘Brownfield Land Registers Data Standard: Preparing and publishing a register’ 2017). The Council’s first Part 1 Brownfield Land Register has been produced in accordance with the relevant regulations and guidance using the specified template. A summary version of the full Brownfield Land Register is provided for ease of reference, alongside the full Brownfield Land Register.
In accordance with regulations, the Brownfield Land Register will be updated at least annually. It will be published on the Council’s website and a hard reference copy provided at the Council’s Civic Centre offices for public viewing. Hard copies can be provided on request to the Planning Policy team (subject to charges).
The inclusion/exclusion of a site on the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register does not determine the possibility of planning permission being granted/refused for residential development, unless the site in question has already been granted permission. All future planning applications will continue to be determined against the development plan and material planning considerations.
Methodology for site selection
Sites on the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register have been sourced from the Councils most up to date Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA- September 2017) which represents an existing database of all known potential residential development sites across the District. This is updated annually with information up to date as at the 31 st March 2017 in line with annual monitoring requirements (unless any more recent site specific information is identified which impacts upon the ability of sites to be entered onto the register e.g. landowner intentions). The full SHLAA is available to view at http://www.cannockchasedc.gov.uk/residents/planning/planning-policy/planning-policy-monitoring . This contains a summary of the consultation undertaken to inform the SHLAA and the assessment process undertaken on sites in order to determine whether or not they are suitable, available and achievable for residential development (see further detail below).
Sites have been included within the Part 1 Register where they meet the definition of previously developed land 1 (commonly referred to as brownfield land) and the criteria set out the Brownfield Land Register regulations. These criteria are:
1 The Brownfield Land Register Regulations 2017 and the National Planning Practice Guidance set out that the National Planning Policy Framework definition of previously development land should be used to identify brownfield sites in the first instance. This is “land which is or was occupied by a permanent
2 ITEM NO. 9.14
(a) the land has an area of at least 0.25 hectares or is capable of supporting at least 5 dwellings;
(b) the land is suitable for residential development;
(c) the land is available for residential development; and
(d) residential development of the land is achievable.
Specific definitions of ‘suitable’, ‘available’ and ‘achievable’ are also provided in regulations to inform the decision making process.
Suitable means the land has been allocated in a local development plan document; has planning permission for residential development; has a grant of permission in principle for residential development; or is, in the opinion of the local planning authority, appropriate for residential development having regard to any adverse impact on the natural environment; the local built environment, including in particular on heritage assets; and any adverse impact on the local amenity which such development might cause for intended occupiers of the development or for occupiers of neighbouring properties.
Available means that the owner(s) and/or developer have expressed an intention to sell or develop the land (and that at a date no more than 21 days before the entry date there is no evidence indicating a change to that intention) or in the opinion of the local authority there are no issues relating to ownership/other legal impediments which might prevent development of the land.
Achievable means that in the opinion of the local planning authority, the development is likely to take place within 15 years of the entry date.
In deciding upon these factors the Council should have regard to any information publicly available and any relevant consultation responses/representations received.
structure, including the curtilage of the developed land (although it should not be assumed that the whole of the curtilage should be developed) and any associated fixed surface infrastructure. This excludes: land that is or has been occupied by agricultural or forestry buildings; land that has been developed for minerals extraction or waste disposal by landfill purposes where provision for restoration has been made through development control procedures; land in built up areas such as private residential gardens, parks, recreation grounds and allotments; and land that was previously developed but where the remains of the permanent structure or fixed surface structure have blended into the landscape in the process of time ” .
3 ITEM NO. 9.15
In addition to these criteria, the Council must have regard to the development plan (at present the adopted Local Plan (Part 1) 2014); national policies and advice; and any guidance issued by the Secretary of State.
As the SHLAA undertakes a high level assessment of sites based upon suitability, availability and achievability it has been considered a sound basis for the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register. Many sites within the SHLAA also benefit from planning permission, which provides a detailed assessment of suitability and an indication of availability and achievability. The SHLAA provides a full explanation of the methodology for assessing sites and is available to view at http://www.cannockchasedc.gov.uk/residents/planning/planning-policy/planning-policy-monitoring . In summary, the following steps have been undertaken in order to identify sites for inclusion on the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register:
1. A sift of sites from the SHLAA 0-5 Deliverable Sites and 6-15 year Developable Sites category was undertaken. As set out in the SHLAA, these are sites which are considered to be generally suitable, available and achievable taking into account the development plan and national policy/guidance. Sites within the Green Belt, AONB, Restricted and Excluded sites category are not at present (for a range of reasons, as set out in the SHLAA including planning policy but also landowner intentions or site specific physical constraints, for example). Therefore sites in this category have not been considered from the outset of the process as they would not meet the criteria set out in the relevant regulations and guidance. 2. Sites that were not brownfield land were removed. This resulted in sites which are predominately Greenfield sites also being removed (where it was not feasible to only include the brownfield element of the site, in accordance with national guidance). 3. Sites that were below the thresholds set out in the regulations were removed i.e. sites below 0.25ha or not capable of supporting at least 5 dwellings. 4. This provided a final draft list of sites for the brownfield register which was then reviewed to ensure all of the sites still met the criteria set out in the Brownfield Land Register regulations and guidance e.g. any more up date information which may have changed since the SHLAA was produced.
Consultation undertaken as part of the SHLAA has also informed the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register. The SHLAA provides a full explanation of the consultation undertaken in 2017. The information contained within the Part 1 Brownfield Land Register is up to date as at 31 st March 2017, in line with other Council monitoring baselines (unless any more recent site specific information is identified which impacts upon the ability of sites to be entered onto the register e.g. landowner intentions).

Report of: Head of Economic Development Contact Officer: Sarah Jones Telephone No: 01543 464 494 Portfolio Leader: Economic Development and Planning Key Decision: No Report Track: Cabinet: 16/11/17
CABINET 16 NOVEMBER 2017 UPDATE ON CANNOCK CHASE COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY (CIL) FINANCIAL YEAR REPORT
1 Purpose of Report
1.1 To note the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) financial year report 2016/17 and to note the current position in relation to the allocation of CIL funds.
2 Recommendations
2.1 That the CIL financial year report be noted.
3 Key Issues and Reasons for Recommendation
3.1 The Council approved the CIL Charging Schedule and Regulation 123 List of infrastructure projects eligible to receive funding at its meeting on 15/04/2015. CIL came into effect in relation to relevant chargeable development on 01/06/2015.
3.2 CIL is intended to provide a funding stream for infrastructure needed to support the policies and proposals in the adopted Local Plan. It will partly replace funding previously obtained via Planning Obligations (Section 106 agreements and Unilateral Undertakings) which have become more limited in scope in relation to pooling of funds from 5 or more obligations as a result of Regulations.
3.3 The Council is legally required to produce a financial year report on CIL receipts and spend in accordance with the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) (the CIL Regulations). This is the second financial report since the adoption of CIL and it provides a summary of CIL receipts and expenditure for the financial 2016-17. ITEM NO. 10.2
4 Relationship to Corporate Priorities
4.1 This report supports the Council’s Corporate Priorities as follows:
o Better Jobs and Skills: CIL supports investment in infrastructure which in turn encourages investment in better jobs and skills in the district
o More and better housing: housing developments need to be supported by appropriate investment in infrastructure such as education and transport and CIL is key to this investment
o Cleaner and Safer Environments: CIL receipts can be used to invest in infrastructure which contributes to safer and cleaner environments
o Better Health Outcomes: CIL can help to deliver infrastructure which can enable people to liver healthier lives for example walking and cycling routes.
Accurate monitoring and recording of the CIL receipts received ensures benefits of the funds are maximised. Providing an up to date guidance document to planning applicants and developers also supports the ‘Customers’ priority area.
5 Report Detail
5.1 The Council’s CIL financial year report is provided at Appendix 1. It reports on the period from 1st April 2016-31st March 2017. In accordance with the CIL Regulations the Council must report on a stipulated set of figures. Regulation 62A sets these out in detail and they include the level of CIL receipts collected; the level of CIL expenditure within the reporting year; the items to which that expenditure has been allocated to; levels of neighbourhood fund expenditure; and the total amount of CIL receipts retained following expenditure. The Council should publish this information by the 31st December following the end of the reporting year.
5.2 The financial year report outlines that £91,728 in CIL receipts was collected in 2016/17. This level of receipts reflects that CIL is still in its infancy; however it is a notable increase on the level of CIL receipts for 2015-16 (£9,000). Schemes are only liable to pay CIL once they have commenced development. Of the £91,728 in 2016/17 collected the Council has retained £66,753 (this totals £73,803 when neighbourhood funds applicable to the non parish areas are included) in 2016/17.
5.3 CIL expenditure on infrastructure totals £6,630 in 2016/17 which has been allocated to the Cannock Chase Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Mitigation Measures- a project identified on the CIL Regulation 123 list (which identifies a range projects eligible to receive CIL funding). The Cannock Chase SAC is an internationally protected ecological site and the approach to ‘top slicing’ of CIL funds to contribute towards projects that ensure no harm arises to this protected site as a result of additional housing development has been previously agreed by Cabinet (see 25/07/13 and 20/11/14). There is a package of measures which ITEM NO. 10.3
will ensure no harm arises to the SAC as a result of additional recreational pressures from the residents of new housing developments within the District and to ensure compliance with Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010.
5.4 A total of £6,709 has been passed to Parish Council’s in 2016/17, representing 15% of the CIL receipts received in those Parishes (Bridgtown, Heath Hayes and Wimblebury, Hednesford Town and Rugeley Town). This is required under Regulation 59A of the CIL Regulations.
5.5 £7,050 has been retained as neighbourhood funds for non-parish areas in 2016/17 pending further consultation with the local community regarding it’s spend (Cannock East Ward- £6,427 and Cannock South Ward -£623). This represents 15% of CIL receipts received within those Wards. This is in accordance with Regulation 59F of the CIL Regulations and the Council’s approved CIL allocations process (see Cabinet Report 23/07/15).
5.6 There has been £4,586 expenditure on CIL administrative expenses in this financial year (representing 5% of the total CIL receipts as permitted in the CIL Regulations).
5.7 Taking into account receipts retained from 2015/16, the total CIL receipts retained by the Council as at end of 2016/17 is £73,298 (note this figure is £80,966 if the neighbourhood funds for the non-parish areas retained at present are included).
5.8 This CIL financial year report will be incorporated into the Council’s wider Annual Monitoring Report for the Local Plan (Part 1), for which there is already delegated authority to publish with the agreement of the Head of Economic Development and Portfolio Leader for Economic Development and Planning (Cabinet Report 21/04/16).
5.9 A previous report on the funding decisions protocol (Cabinet Report 23/07/15) set out that the allocation of CIL funds process would not begin until a sufficient level of receipts had been received. Given the overall level of receipts received to date it is not considered appropriate to commence the allocation of funds process at present. Instead the funds have been retained (minus Cannock Chase SAC mitigation measures expenditure, neighbourhood fund allocations for parishes, and administrative expenses as set out above) for future spending.
5.10 An update (via letter and/or email) will be sent to all District Councillors and potential infrastructure providers of items on the current Regulation 123 list (including for example the Environment Agency, Staffordshire County Council) advising them of the CIL receipts received to date and the intention not to undertake the allocation of CIL funds in 2017/18 given the level of receipts retained to date. Contact will also be made with the relevant Ward Members for the non parish areas in receipt of CIL neighbourhood funds to ascertain how those communities wish to see the CIL receipts allocated (as per the Council’s approved allocations process- see Cabinet Report 23/07/15).
5.11 The level of receipts for 2017-18 will be kept under review and the timing of the commencement of the allocations process will be considered in view of the level ITEM NO. 10.4
of receipts received. Further updates will be provided to Cabinet advising of the latest position.

Regulation 62(4) (c) Summary details of CIL expenditure
- The only CIL expenditure in this reporting year on Regulation 123 list items has been on Cannock Chase Special Area of Conservation (SAC) mitigation measures (£6,630). As per the locally agreed approach to the funding of this item ‘top slicing’ of all CIL receipts related to residential development within the District automatically takes place to be allocated against this project. - £4,586 of CIL funds have been utilised for administrative expenses in 2016/17 (up to 5% is allowed as per Regulations). - CIL expenditure in relation to neighbourhood funds takes place automatically, as per CIL Regulations. This stipulates that 15% of CIL receipts from local areas (with no neighbourhood plan) should be transferred to the relevant parish/town council or in non parish areas consultation undertaken wit h the local community. This increases to 25% in areas with a neighbourhood plan. Funds have been transferred to Bridgtown Parish Council, Heath Hayes and Wimblebury Parish Council, Hednesford Town Council and Rugeley Town Council in this reporting year. These funds total £6,709. The non parish allocations for Cannock East Ward of £6,427 and for Cannock South Ward of £623 have been retained and spending is subject to further consultation with the relevant local community. - Cannock Chase Council has not made any requests for the recovery of neighbourhood funds from local Councils within the reporting year.
