Community Infrastructure Levy
Community Infrastructure Levy
Many Industry specialists and bodies have raised concerns about the clarity, timing, fairness and required skills needed to produce a workable system, however, the Government is still pressing ahead with the introduction of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) to raise capital to deliver major infrastructure.
The Department for Communities and Local Government have produced a new document (download a copy below) reporting on how it sees the CIL working in practice. The DCLG aims to consult on the draft regulations required for implementation by Autumn 2008, they will then be passed by Parliament and available for use by local authorities by the Spring of 2009.
The document sets out the background to the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and more detail on the provisions in the Planning Bill. It goes on to explain how it is envisaged at this stage the CIL will operate, in particular:
- how the CIL will be set;
- how the CIL will be spent;
- the future of planning obligations;
- how, when and by whom CIL will be paid; and
- the approach to exemptions and thresholds.
