Minutes:
The Executive received an application for Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) which sought to secure £71,500 to install two tennis courts at the West Byfleet Recreation Ground. It was noted that the application was conditional upon funding of £56,000 from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA). The application met the requirements of a CIL application and had broad community support with all Ward Councillors supportive of the project. It was noted that the LTA would oversee the project. The funds would be available for release from February 2024, subject to receiving £56,000 from the LTA. Should the Executive agree the application, it would become a contractual commitment and the money would not be able to be used for another purpose.
Councillor Brown queried the status of a further CIL application which had been submitted to the Council. The Portfolio Holder, Councillor Lyons, undertook to investigate the status of the application and report back to Councillor Brown.
The Executive welcomed the positive project and was happy to support the application.
