Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

Overview of the Haringey CIL Charging Schedule and Annual CIL rate summary.

Overview

Haringey Council secures financial contributions and other public benefits from new development from 2 main mechanisms:

  • Community Infrastructure Levy
  • Section 106 agreements

Community Infrastructure Levy

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge based on the floorspace of new buildings to help fund infrastructure needs arising from new development.

We collect Haringey CIL and we are also a collecting authority for the Mayor of London’s CIL.

Annual CIL rate summary

The Annual CIL rate summary shows how the rates have been ‘indexed’ for inflation over time

Section 106 agreements

A Section 106 (S106) agreement is a legally binding agreement or 'planning obligation' between a local planning authority, like us, and a property owner.

Planning obligations are used as part of the planning application process to address specific planning issues and impacts arising from a development proposal. This mechanism is used to make development proposals acceptable in planning terms, that would not otherwise be acceptable.

Key differences between CIL and S106

A summary of the key differences between CIL and S106.

CIL

  • non-negotiable – calculated based on the net increase in floorspace (£/m2)
  • pooled and spent anywhere within the borough on infrastructure to generally support development
  • paid by the developer when they start the development

S106

  • negotiable
  • only if necessary to mitigate an impact from a site-specific new development:
    • directly related to the development
    • fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development
  • paid by the developer when agreed triggers are met, for example, project completion, occupation of property
