The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a planning charge that we can impose on new developments in Ryedale. The fixed, non-negotiable charge helps to deliver infrastructure to support the new development and is applied to the development’s internal floor space. It can be applied to:
- private market houses (excluding apartments and self-builds)
- supermarkets (£120 per square metre)
- retail warehouses (£60 per square metre)
Our charging schedule (pdf / 2 MB) provides more detail on how the charge works and also details exemptions. We don't impose CIL charges on any other developments in Ryedale.
When is a CIL used?
To introduce the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), we have to show that there is a shortfall in funding to cover the expected total cost of infrastructure needed to support a development. We have an Infrastructure Delivery Plan for Ryedale and it is part of our Local Plan Strategy.
We assess each new development to make sure that imposing a CIL doesn’t threaten its scale or delivery.
Our charging schedule
When we set our CIL rates, we balance the benefits of funding infrastructure through the CIL with the potential impact of imposing a charge on investment and development in Ryedale.
How does the CIL affect me?
If you are a land owner or developer, it’s important that you:
- are aware of the implications of the CIL charge
- understand that it is a non-negotiable, fixed charge
- establish if your scheme is exempt, or not
- factor the levy into your project viability assessment as a fixed element of cost

Infrastructure Funding Statements
Infrastructure Funding Statements (IFS) are reports which cover both CIL and Section 106 obligations regarding monies secured, received, held and spent. They provide information about how development has contributed to the provision and enhancement of infrastructure in the local community, such as:
- affordable housing
- highways
- education
- medical facilities
The North Yorkshire Annual Infrastructure Funding Statement 2022-23 (pdf / 722 KB) was approved by Executive on 6 February 2024.
The 2022-23 Infrastructure Funding Statement details the income and expenditure relating to the Community Infrastructure Levy and Section 106 (S106) agreements for 2022/23. It covers the year before North Yorkshire Council was formed and therefore the data is split into the former districts of Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Selby and Scarborough. It also details the contributions received by the former North Yorkshire County Council.
