When Is Cil Chargeable?

Development may be liable for a charge under CIL if your local planning authority has chosen to set a charge in its area. New developments that create net additional 'gross internal area' of 100 square metres or more, or create new dwellings, are potentially liable for the levy.

When should CIL be paid?

If all requirements are met, payment is due within 60 days of the commencement of development, or as set out in the instalments policy. If you need to pay CIL on your development, you must notify us of the development's start date, before you start the development. This is called a Commencement Notice.

What is CIL chargeable on?

The Community Infrastructure Levy (the 'levy') is a charge which can be levied by local authorities on new development in their area. It is an important tool for local authorities to use to help them deliver the infrastructure needed to support development in their area.
