PART 3CHARGING SCHEDULES

Correction of errors in a charging schedule26

1

This regulation applies if a charging schedule approved by a charging authority contains a correctable error.

2

A correctable error is an error which if corrected—

a

would have no effect on the amount of CIL chargeable in respect of any given chargeable development in the charging authority’s area; or

b

would have the effect mentioned in paragraph (2)(a), but the correction is required in order to give effect to the modifications to the draft charging schedule recommended by the examiner.

3

The charging authority must correct the error either—

a

of its own volition; or

b

if it is requested to do so in writing by any person.

4

But the charging authority may not correct the error after the end of the period of six months beginning with the day on which the charging schedule was approved under section 213 of PA 2008.

5

If an error is corrected in pursuance of this regulation the charging authority must, as soon as practicable after making the correction—

a

issue a notice in writing (a “correction notice”) which specifies the correction of the error;

b

where the correction was requested in accordance with paragraph (3)(b), send a copy of the correction notice to the person who requested the correction;

c

publish the corrected charging schedule and correction notice on its website;

d

make the corrected charging schedule and correction notice available for inspection at the places at which the documents mentioned in regulation 16(1)(a) were made available; and

e

where the error is one to which paragraph (2)(b) applies—

i

give notice by local advertisement of the correction, that a copy of the corrected charging schedule and correction notice is available for inspection, and of the places at which they can be inspected,

ii

send a copy of the correction notice to those persons who requested to be notified of the approval of the charging schedule, and

iii

send a copy of the correction notice to the relevant consenting authorities.
