Dudley Council’S Regeneration & Enterprise Service Regenerating Introduction COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY (CIL) REGULATION 123 LIST October 2018 DUDLEY COUNCIL’S REGENERATION & ENTERPRISE SERVICE REGENERATING INTRODUCTION The Regulation 123 List identifies infrastructure projects and types of infrastructure which are eligible to be funded in whole or part by Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) receipts within Dudley Borough. The definition of Infrastructure is set out within the CIL Regulations. The List has been produced in partnership with infrastructure providers across the Borough. It is important to note that this list is not an exhaustive list of all infrastructure requirements for Dudley Borough; rather it is a list of infrastructure projects that have been identified, with associated costings and funding gaps, at this point in time. The List has been informed under the aspirations of the Black Country Growth Strategy and the policies and approach of a range of strategies including the Core Strategy for the Black Country, Dudley Council Plan, Planning Obligations SPD and Local Transport Plan. The inclusion of a project or type of infrastructure does not signify a commitment from the Council to fund the listed project or type, rather that it is eligible for funding. The List also sets out any infrastructure which is excluded from CIL funding as it will be provided through Planning Obligations (S106 Agreements). Ultimately any spend of CIL receipts will be subject to member approval before being committed for spend. The previous Regulation 123 List was over 12 months old and the purpose of the review was to ensure that the specific projects and types of infrastructure listed remain current and identify up to date funding gaps. The public consultation ran for 6 weeks from 15th February until 29th March 2018 and allowed local communities and stakeholders to comment on the revised List and put forward requests for additional infrastructure projects to be included. The results are detailed in the List. The list is available to view on the Council’s website at: http://www.dudley.gov.uk/resident/planning/planning-policy/local-development-framework/cil/ Planning Services Planning and Development Place Directorate Dudley Council Council House Priory Road Dudley DY1 1HF Page 1 Page 2 CONTACT INFORMATION Carl Mellor Planning Manager Place Directorate 4 Ednam Road, Dudley, DY1 1HL Tel: 01384 814157 Email: [email protected] Helen Martin Chief Officer – Regeneration and Enterprise Place Directorate 4 Ednam Road, Dudley DY1 1HL Tel: 01384 814004 Email: [email protected] GENERAL INFORMATION This and other Local Plan documents are or will be made available on request in alternative formats.

For an Introduction to this branch of the family and an account of the first five generations of this branch, see 'Skidmore Families Of The Black Country, the first five generations' on the website http://skidmorefamilyhistory.webplus.net. This account begins at Generation 6, denoted by superscript 6 next to the name of the head of household.
