Community infrastructure levy review: questionnaire
This document is the community infrastructure levy review’s request for written submissions to inform their work.
The review is very keen to hear from a wide range of people. Local authorities and communities groups are important, as are developers, surveyors, lawyers and consultants involved in the community infrastructure levy (CIL) process.
The community infrastructure levy introduced in April 2010 seeks to provide a faster, fairer, more certain and transparent means of collecting developer contributions to infrastructure than individually-negotiated ‘Section 106’ planning obligations.
The government confirmed in November 2015 that Liz Peace will lead and chair an independent group conducting a review of the community infrastructure levy.
The group met on 12 November 2015 and will assess the extent to which CIL does or can provide an effective mechanism for funding infrastructure, as well as recommend changes that would improve its operation in support of the government’s wider housing and growth objectives.
Please complete your responses to the questions contained in this document electronically via the online form.
This request for written submissions will be open from 19 November 2015 and, while we would appreciate responses to be received by 24 December 2015, we will accept them up until 15 January 2016.
