Infrastructure Levy (NCIL) process was adopted in February 2023.  It was considered good practice to review processes on a regular basis.  This report and appendices identified the scope of the review and provided an overview of options considered.  It identified recommended options for Cabinet to formally consider and authorise for implementation; these were set out in section 5 of the officer’s report.
