Part 11 of the Planning Act 2008 provides for the imposition of a charge known as the Community Infrastructure Levy (“the Levy”). The Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/948) (“the CIL Regulations”) implement the detail of the levy. Whether to charge a community infrastructure levy in their area is a decision for the charging authority (usually the local planning authority). A community infrastructure levy (“CIL”) is brought into force in an area by the authority adopting a charging schedule.
