Summary and implications
The consultation on further reforms to the Community
Infrastructure Levy (CIL) closed in May 2013.
The Government has now published its response to the
consultation. The Government is proposing to implement the majority
of the proposals with some changes, which will be of interest to
landowners, developers and public authorities.
The changes
The key changes the Government is proposing to introduce are as
follows:
- Deferring the date from which the restrictions on the use of
S106 obligations apply to April 2015, which in effect defers the
date by which authorities are forced to introduce CIL. (The current
date is April 2014.)
- Allowing all types of planning permissions to be treated as
phased development to ensure the fair treatment of more complex
developments.
