Local Infrastructure Fund
What was the Local Infrastructure Fund (LIF)?
The Local Infrastructure Fund (LIF) was our term for the neighbourhood portion of the Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL) before a new approach to NCIL was approved in June 2023.
The approach for LIF was formally approved by Cabinet on the 6 December 2016 and in the revised report of 27 October 2021.
Three LIF Programmes were approved:
- LIF Programme 1 – approved in Cabinet, July 2019/October 2021
- LIF Programme 2 – approved in Cabinet, September 2020
- LIF Programme 3 – approved in Cabinet, October 2021
In 2022/23 the LIF programme had a review to make sure the delivery of local infrastructure improvements funded through LIF met the council’s strategic priorities, while also meeting our statutory obligations in the administering of LIF.
