Planning, building and the environment

Summary

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), the provisions for which are currently going through Parliament, will be a new charge which local authorities in England and Wales will be empowered, but not required, to charge on most types of new development in their area.

CIL charges will be based on simple formulae which relate the size of the charge to the size and character of the development paying it. The proceeds of the levy will be spent on local and sub-regional infrastructure to support the development of the area.
