Community infrastructure levy policy

As of 1 January 2016 we have implemented a community infrastructure levy (CIL) charging schedule.

For any further information please visit our community infrastructure levy documents page.

Please see the documents below for full details, these documents were used for the community infrastructure levy inspection.


December 2015

After agreement at a meeting of the Full Council on 3 December 2015, we have now adopted the community infrastructure levy which will be implemented from 1 January 2016. The below documents should now be consulted before submitting a planning application if the decision is likely to be made after 1 January 2016.


25 September 2015

We are developing our community infrastructure levy which will be charged on new buildings to fund improvements to infrastructure and has now accepted a report on its plans by an independent Planning Inspector. The Inspector looked in detail at our CIL proposals with an examination in public of the documents last month. You can read a copy of the report below.

The findings are scheduled to be considered by us in December with a proposed adoption date of 1 January 2016.

A consultation over the proposals took place last summer, with a second consultation earlier this year, in order to gather a range of opinions from the public and developers, and we have now listened to the points raised to refine the proposals for the levy.

The CIL proposes three housing development charging zones of £10/£35/£50sqm with £110sqm for supermarkets and £60sqm for retail warehouses. The rates are based on a detailed analysis of up-to-date viability evidence.

Funds raised via the levy can only be spent on strategic infrastructure which includes transport, flood defences, schools, health and social care facilities, cultural and sports facilities as well as the maintenance and improvement of facilities affected by development. We may only spend CIL revenue on infrastructure items listed and published on its Regulation 123 list which is available on the website.

This website will be updated as necessary on the run-up to adoption, any enquiries should be sent to cil.sel@northyorks.gov.uk.
