Funding Statement to update members on progress with developer contributions. The
findings can also be reported in the quarterly finance reports.

CIL spend beyond current geographical limits set by the charging areas is taken
forward when Dorset Council adopt and implements a replacement single charging
schedule across the Council.

associated with habitat mitigation be removed from the scope of the next
spending round.
(d) That the categories and proportions for the
remaining in-scope infrastructure be revisited following the completion of the
next spending round.

engagement with town and parish councils including the measures to support
greater awareness of developer contributions as set out in in the report to
Cabinet 8 November 2021, be implanted as part of future spending rounds.
