Community Infrastructure Levy- What is it?
• Tax on new floor space or additional dwellings.• Includes domestic extensions of more than 100 sq m • Expressed as a £ per square metre charge.• Only charged on “Buildings where people normally
go” (i.e. excludes plant rooms, agriculture etc). • Non-viable uses can be excluded (e.g. Employment
uses)…But only on grounds of viability. • Not paid on affordable housing or buildings used for
charitable purposes. • Partially replaces S106 Agreements. Tighter
restrictions on use of S106 Contributions.
Community Infrastructure Levy -Funding Gap and Viability
• Need to show an infrastructure funding gap…Not likely to be a problem to show this.
• CIL shouldn’t make development unviable: Viability is likely to be the sticking point.
• Choice between CIL and affordable housing and Code for Sustainable Homes.
• Choice between out-of-town retail (big CIL earners) and town centre protection.
Community Infrastructure Levy – Government Proposals.
• Government recently consulted on whether affordable housing could be funded through CIL (rather than S106 agreements).
• Requirement in Localism Act to spend a “meaningful proportion” of CIL in the area where development takes place.
Community Infrastructure Levy- Torbay
• Torbay’s Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule was published for consultation between December 2011-February 2012.
• Seeks CIL of £100 per sq m for new dwellings.
• There will be a second consultation stage and then Independent Examination.
