Is this why our council is dragging its heels on Community Infrastructure Levy?

Oh, the shame of having to pass 25% of it to the town or parish councils!

and this is why developers don’t like it:

All in all, our local developers must be laughing all the way to the bank: ignoring S106 requirements and having no CIL to worry about.

The council’s CIL draft was thrown out by the Planning Inspector because it was based on the Draft Local Plan figures which he refused to accept because they were out-of-date and not appropriately evidence-based.

One thought on “Is this why our council is dragging its heels on Community Infrastructure Levy?

  1. If CIL worked as I would want it, the district council would work out what the incremental infrastructure costs are at both district and town/parish level, and calculate the CIL level based on that.

    In other words, the CIL should include both the requirements at district level and at parish level, and therefore passing the parish-level CIL payments onto the parishes would NOT be a loss to the district.

    But of course, the CIL rules are set by central government, so they probably don’t work on this logical basis, and in any case the whole CIL discussion is moot because EDDC is so far from getting a Local Plan agreed.
