Regulations may provide for the imposition of a charge to be known as the community infrastructure levy (“CIL”).

In making the regulations, the Welsh Ministers must aim to ensure that the overall purpose of CIL is to ensure that costs incurred in supporting development of an area in Wales can be funded wholly or partly by owners of land or developers in a way that does not make the development economically unviable.

In this Act, regulations under this section are referred to as “CIL regulations”.

Sections 172 to 204 and Schedule 13 make further provision about what must be contained in CIL regulations and what may, in particular, be contained in them.
