Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payments and charging schedule

CIL is charged in pounds per square metre (£ / m²) on the net additional increase in floorspace. You can work out how much you will have to pay using the CIL rates set out in our CIL charging schedule (PDF) [142KB] .

CIL instalments policy

Full payment of the levy charge is due within 60 days of the commencement of the chargeable development. However, we may establish an instalments policy for payments.

We will apply the following instalment policy in respect of developments which CIL is liable. These instalment periods and values are not negotiable.

We will send a Demand Notice stating the amounts due and the due dates. You can either wait to be invoiced, pay over the phone by calling 01257 515151 or use our online payments system to make your payment.
