About the CIL
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge based on the floorspace of new buildings to help fund infrastructure needs arising from new development. CIL runs alongside Section 106 planning obligations.
Approval of Revised CIL charging schedule
On 14 March 2022 Full Council approved a Revised CIL charging schedule to take effect on 1 September 2022.
The approval of the Revised CIL charging schedule follows a CIL partial review which began in 2016 and culminated in the examination of the revised charging schedule in late 2021.
All planning permissions granted on or after 1 September 2022 will be subject to the rates in the revised charging schedule.
Annual CIL rate summary
The Annual CIL rate summary shows how the rates have been ‘indexed’ for inflation over time.
For more details see the consultation on draft charging schedule and associated documents page.
