SCHEDULE 1

Regulations 40 and 50

SCHEDULE 1Calculation of chargeable amount etc

PART 1Standard cases

Chargeable amount: standard cases

1.(1) The chargeable amount is an amount equal to the aggregate of the amounts of CIL chargeable at each of the relevant rates.

(2) But where that amount is less than £50 the chargeable amount is deemed to be zero.

(3) The relevant rates are the rates, taken from the relevant charging schedules, at which CIL is chargeable in respect of the chargeable development.

(4) The amount of CIL chargeable at a given relevant rate (R) must be calculated by applying the following formula—

where—

  • A = the deemed net area chargeable at rate R, calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (6);

  • IP = the index figure for the calendar year in which planning permission was granted; and

  • IC = the index figure for the calendar year in which the charging schedule containing rate R took effect.

(5) In this paragraph the index figure for a given calendar year is—

(a)in relation to any calendar year before 2020, the figure for 1st November for the preceding calendar year in the national All-in Tender Price Index published from time to time by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors;

(b)in relation to the calendar year 2020 and any subsequent calendar year, the RICS CIL Index published in November of the preceding calendar year by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors;

(c)if the RICS CIL index is not so published, the figure for 1st November for the preceding calendar year in the national All-in Tender Price Index published from time to time by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors;

(d)if the national All-in Tender Price Index is not so published, the figure for 1st November for the preceding calendar year in the retail prices index.

(6) The value of A must be calculated by applying the following formula—

where—

  • G = the gross internal area of the chargeable development;

  • GR = the gross internal area of the part of the chargeable development chargeable at rate R;

  • KR = the aggregate of the gross internal areas of the following—

    (i)

    retained parts of in-use buildings; and

    (ii)

    for other relevant buildings, retained parts where the intended use following completion of the chargeable development is a use that is able to be carried on lawfully and permanently without further planning permission in that part on the day before planning permission first permits the chargeable development;

  • E = the aggregate of the following—

    (i)

    the gross internal areas of parts of in-use buildings that are to be demolished before completion of the chargeable development; and

    (ii)

    for the second and subsequent phases of a phased planning permission, the value Ex (as determined under sub-paragraph (7)), unless Ex is negative,

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

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 (“the CIL Regulations”) (S.I. 2010/948) implement the detail of the Levy. These Regulations amend the CIL Regulations. The CIL Regulations and these Regulations apply in relation to England only.

Regulation 3 amends the requirements in relation to charging schedules, including changing the requirement from two rounds of consultation before adopting a schedule to one. Regulation 4 enhances the procedure where a charging authority is proposing that a charging schedule should cease to have effect.

Regulation 5 makes provision in relation to calculation of chargeable amounts in different cases. The calculations previously in regulations 40, 50 and 128A of the CIL Regulations have been moved into a new schedule, Schedule 1. Additionally the new Schedule includes new provision for calculation of CIL in relation to cases where the granting of an ‘amended’ planning permission under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (“section 73 permission”) leads to an increase or decrease in CIL liability, and in relation to phase credits where a pre-CIL phased planning permission is ‘amended’ by a section 73 permission once CIL is in effect in the area.

Regulation 6 provides for removal of the provisions which resulted in reliefs being lost if a commencement notice was not submitted before starting the development. Instead a provision has been added requiring the imposition of a surcharge for failing to provide a commencement notice.

Regulation 7 provides for carry over of relief where the planning permission for a development is ‘amended’ by a section 73 permission (provided the amount of relief does not change) and for payment by instalments to continue to apply.

Regulation 8 replaces reference to distress with reference to the new procedure for taking control of goods set out in Schedule 12 to the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (c. 3).

Regulation 9 inserts regulation 121A and a new schedule, Schedule 2, which require local authorities to publish an annual infrastructure funding statement setting out how much CIL is collected, how much is spent and what it is spent on, and makes similar provision in relation to planning obligations (i.e. agreements under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c. 8)). It also inserts regulation 121B which makes provision for reporting by parish councils. Regulation 10 also requires (through new regulation 121C) for charging authorities to publish an annual CIL rate summary showing the rates of CIL in its area adjusted for inflation.

Regulation 10 amends regulation 122 to ensure charging authorities can include provision for monitoring fees in agreements under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

Regulation 11 removes regulation 123, which restricted the number of agreements under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 which a charging authority could enter into in relation to funding particular infrastructure.

Regulation 12 makes consequential amendments and regulation 14 makes transitional and saving provisions.

No formal impact assessment was produced for these Regulations as one is not required for a financial instrument.
