Guidance for Developers & Landowners - Making Paying Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Straightforward
The CIL charge helps fund new infrastructure, and it is legally compulsory for most new development (particularly where new floorspace is proposed of 100 square metres or more or where a new dwelling is created). Please click here for the Frequently Asked Questions guidance.
This new user-friendly note has been produced by the Council to help owners and developers, including through setting out the requirements of sometimes complex national regulations that govern CIL payment. It provides specific examples, and explains the necessary steps, at each stage, for you to ensure the levy is paid correctly. It also outlines the actions you need to take and information essential if you wish to apply for relief/ exemption (where permissible) and implications of not complying with legislation. If you have any queries email cil.planning@dartford.gov.uk.
