365.Section 220(1) provides power for CIL regulations to make provision about the procedures to be followed in connection with CIL, with examples of what might be done using this power set out in subsections (2) and (6).
366.For instance, subsection (2)(r) provides power to combine procedures in connection with CIL with procedures for another purpose of a charging authority. An example of the use of this power might be to combine the procedures for producing a draft charging schedule with the procedures for preparing development plan documents under Part 2 of the PCPA 2004. Alternatively, it might be used to require reports on the use of CIL under section 216(7)(c) to be combined with the annual monitoring reports required under section 35 of the PCPA 2004. Subsection (2)(l) to (o) might be used to require in CIL regulations that an examination in public to be held into a list (produced under section 216(5)(a)) of the items of infrastructure on which CIL may be spent. This might be combined with an examination in public into a charging schedule with connected provision being made on how the costs of the examinations are to be met.. Finally, by way of example, subsection (2)(s) provides a power to make provision about procedures to be followed in connection with actual or potential liability for CIL. Under this provision regulations could prescribe the form and contents of any notice which must be served on a charging authority or another party and the form which service of such a notice may or must take in order for liability to be assumed or transferred under section 208(2) or (5)(g).
367.Subsection (3) provides power to make regulations regarding procedures to be followed in connection with exemptions or reductions of CIL. For example, if a charging authority were to grant any exemption it could be required to keep a record of that and to notify the Secretary of State that it has been granted. Or instead, the power could be used to require potential recipients to provide certain information before they can be granted an exemption.
