Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge which allows planning authorities to charge development to fund infrastructure which addresses the cumulative impact of development. It came into force on 6 April 2010 through the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010.
CIL is a fixed rate per square metre of development, and the rates for development in Cornwall are set out in a Charging Schedule. The Charging Schedule came into effect in Cornwall on 1 January 2019. From this date, developments creating one or more dwellings, or new floorspace of 100sqm or more, could be charged CIL. However, CIL will only become payable on commencement of a development (not granting of planning permission), which means there will always be a delay between a development being granted permission and when it has to make a CIL payment.
CIL will make an important contribution towards financing the infrastructure required to deliver the development strategy for Cornwall as set out in the Local Plan1. The money raised through CIL can be used to help fund a wide range of infrastructure that is needed as a result of development; this can include new road schemes, flood defences, schools, health facilities, park improvements, green spaces and leisure centres.
