Background Information: The Community Infrastructure Levy is a new system of planning obligations that was introduced in the Planning Act 2008 and put into force by the Community Infrastructure Regulations 2010 on 6th April 2010.The government considers that the CIL is a more transparent and simple method of collecting funds for infrastructure to support development than the current system of planning obligations (S.106). As such regulations restrict the use of Section 106 post 2014 to encourage local planning authorities to introduce a CIL.This Council committed to taking a Community Infrastructure Levy forward at Development Plan Scrutiny Sub-Committee on 22-03-2011. The report will outline a suggested approach and timescales.
