Overview

What is CIL?

The Community Infrastructure Levy (the ‘levy’) is a charge which can be levied by local authorities on new development in their area. It is an important tool for local authorities to use to help them deliver the infrastructure needed to support development in their area.

What are we doing?

London Borough of Barnet are proposing that the rate that we charge be increased and has published details of the proposed rates in the Draft Charging Schedule. This is the first review we have done since adoption of CIL in 2013. The increased rate is supported by evidence on viability of development in the borough and the need to charge CIL to fund infrastructure to support development.

Under regulation 17 comments are invited from residents and businesses, voluntary bodies operating in Barnet and local business groups. Consultation Bodies including local planning authorities, neighbourhood forums and the Mayor of London will be notified and invited to make representations.

The CIL Rate Review is supported by the following evidence documents:

We welcome comments on the Draft Charging Schedule and the supporting evidence.
