Paying CIL and CIL appeals

How much will I have to pay?

Eligible developments that receive planning permission from 1 September 2013 will be charged in accordance with the rates set out in the Charging Schedule and with indexation applied. The amount payable is calculated when planning permission is granted.


Can I pay in instalments?

If the liability is over £25,000 payment can be made in instalments as set out within the Instalment Policy which allows payments to be spread over a longer period of time.

Remember: this Instalment Policy, which will not be available if liability has not been assumed, a Commencement Notice has not been submitted before the relevant development commences, or if payments are not made in time.
