NCIL distribution and round 1 spend consultation

From 3 February to 9 March 2020, we consulted on changing the Community Infrastructure Levy Governance document to:

• allow us to spend Neighbourhood CIL in a different area to where it was collected
• make the necessary amendments to the document to give effect to the same

You can view the consultation document here:

In total 86 responses were received to the consultation:

• 27 responses (31.4%) supported the proposed amendments
• 50 responses (58.1%) opposed the proposed amendments
• 9 responses (10.5%) did not indicate a clear for or against position

Having regard to the responses received to the consultation, we decided to amend the CIL Governance document and allocate NCIL across the borough via a fairer approach.

• CIL Charging Schedule updated with Governance and revised Reg 123 (pdf, 14 page(s), 773.02 KB)

A list of projects for NCIL spend has now been approved. These projects were identified by the community through the NCIL spending consultation in October to November 2018 (round 1 consultation) and have been selected for delivery following:

• the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended)
• the criteria in our CIL Governance document for prioritising infrastructure projects to be funded by CIL
• Borough Plan priorities

The full list of approved projects is available in the annual CIL reports.
