an amount equal to the aggregate of the values of each material interest in the relevant land; and

A
the chargeable amount payable in respect of the chargeable development.

4 For the purposes of paragraph (2)—
(a) the value of a material interest is the price that it might reasonably be expected to obtain if sold on the open market on the day the apportionment takes place; and
(b) the valuation shall assume that the chargeable development has been completed on the day before the apportionment takes place.

PART 5 CHARGEABLE AMOUNT

40 Calculation of chargeable amount
1 The collecting authority must calculate the amount of CIL payable (“chargeable amount”) in respect of a chargeable development in accordance with this regulation.
2 The chargeable amount is an amount equal to the aggregate of the amounts of CIL chargeable at each of the relevant rates.
3 But where that amount is less than £50 the chargeable amount is deemed to be zero.
4 The relevant rates are the rates, taken from the relevant charging schedules, at which CIL is chargeable in respect of the chargeable development.
5 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 paragraph (7);
Ip = the index figure for the year in which planning permission was granted; and
Ic = the index figure for the year in which the charging schedule containing rate R took effect.
6 In this regulation the index figure for a given year is—
(a) the figure for 1st November for the preceding year in the national All-in Tender Price Index published from time to time by the Building Cost Information Service of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; or
(b) if the All-in Tender Price Index ceases to be published, the figure for 1st November for the preceding year in the retail prices index.
7 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 paragraph (8)), unless Ex is negative,
provided that no part of any building may be taken into account under both of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.
8 The value Ex must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
EP = the value of E for the previously commenced phase of the planning permission;
GP = the value of G for the previously commenced phase of the planning permission; and
KPR = the total of the values of KR for the previously commenced phase of the planning permission.
9 Where a collecting authority does not have sufficient information, or information of sufficient quality, to enable it to establish that a relevant building is an in-use building, it may deem it not to be an in-use building.
10 Where a collecting authority does not have sufficient information, or information of sufficient quality, to enable it to establish—
(a) whether part of a building falls within a description in the definitions of KR and E in paragraph (7); or
(b) the gross internal area of any part of a building falling within such a description,
it may deem the gross internal area of the part in question to be zero.
11 In this regulation—
“building” does not include—
(i) a building into which people do not normally go,
(ii) a building into which people go only intermittently for the purpose of maintaining or inspecting machinery, or
(iii) a building for which planning permission was granted for a limited period;
“in-use building” means a building which—
(i) is a relevant building, and
(ii) contains a part that has been in lawful use for a continuous period of at least six months within the period of three years ending on the day planning permission first permits the chargeable development;
“new build” means that part of the chargeable development which will comprise new buildings and enlargements to existing buildings;
“relevant building” means a building which is situated on the relevant land on the day planning permission first permits the chargeable development;
“relevant charging schedules” means the charging schedules which are in effect—
(i) at the time planning permission first permits the chargeable development, and
(ii) in the area in which the chargeable development will be situated;
“retained part” means part of a building which will be—
(i) on the relevant land on completion of the chargeable development (excluding new build),
(ii) part of the chargeable development on completion, and
(iii) chargeable at rate R.

49C Social housing relief: qualifying communal development
1 For the purposes of this regulation, qualifying communal development is the amount of communal development (calculated in accordance with paragraph (4)) which is for the benefit of the occupants of more than one qualifying dwelling.
2 Subject to paragraph (3), development is communal development if it is development for the benefit of the occupants of more than one qualifying dwelling, whether or not it is also for the benefit of the occupants of relevant development.
3 Development is not communal development if it is—
(a) wholly or partly made up of one or more dwellings;
(b) wholly or mainly for use by the general public;
(c) wholly or mainly for the benefit of occupants of development which is not relevant development; or
(d) to be used wholly or mainly for commercial purposes.
4 The gross internal area of any communal development that is qualifying communal development must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
X = the gross internal area of the communal development;
A = the gross internal area of the qualifying dwellings to which the communal development relates; and
B = the gross internal area of the qualifying dwellings and the relevant development, provided that the communal development is for the benefit of those dwellings and that relevant development.
5 In this regulation, “relevant development” means development which is granted permission by the same planning permission as the qualifying dwellings in question, but which does not include the qualifying dwellings or the communal development.

50 Social housing relief: qualifying amount
1 The amount of social housing relief for which a chargeable development is eligible (“the qualifying amount”) must be calculated in accordance with this regulation.
2 The qualifying amount is an amount equal to the aggregate of the qualifying amounts at each of the relevant rates.
3 The relevant rates are the rates, taken from the relevant charging schedules, at which, but for social housing relief, CIL would be chargeable in respect of the parts of the chargeable development which will comprise—
(a) qualifying dwellings; or
(b) qualifying communal development.
4 The qualifying amount at a given relevant rate (R) must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
A = the deemed net area chargeable at rate R;
Ip = the index figure for the year in which planning permission was granted; and
Ic = the index figure for the year in which the charging schedule containing rate R took effect.
5 Paragraph (6) of regulation 40 applies to determine the index figure for a given year.
6 Paragraphs (7) to (10) of regulation 40 apply for the purpose of calculating A with the following modifications—
(a) for GR, substitute QR, and
(b) for KR, substitute KQR
where—
QR = the gross internal areas of the part of the chargeable development which will comprise the qualifying dwellings or qualifying communal development, and in respect of which, but for social housing relief, CIL would be chargeable at rate R; and
KQR = the aggregate of the gross internal areas of the following—
(i) relevant retained parts of in-use buildings; and
(ii) for other relevant buildings, relevant 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.
7 Where—
(a) social housing relief has been granted in relation to a development; and
(b) planning permission is granted under section 73 of TCPA 1990 in respect of that development; and
(c) the amount of social housing relief calculated in accordance with this regulation that the development is eligible for has not changed as a result of the planning permission referred to in sub-paragraph (b),
anything done in relation to an application for social housing relief made under regulation 51 (social housing relief: procedure) in relation to the development referred to in sub-paragraph (a) is to be treated as if it was done in relation to development that the planning permission referred to in sub-paragraph (b) relates to.
8 In this regulation—
(a) a reference to part of a chargeable development which will comprise qualifying dwellings includes a reference to part of a chargeable development which comprises qualifying dwellings;
(b) “relevant retained part” means part of a building which will be—
(i) on the relevant land on completion of the chargeable development (excluding new build),
(ii) part of the chargeable development on completion, and
(iii) chargeable at rate R but for social housing relief;
(c) “building”, “in-use building”, “new build”, “relevant building” and “relevant charging schedules” have the same meaning as in regulation 40.

54A Exemption for self-build housing
1 ... A person (P) is eligible for an exemption from liability to pay CIL in respect of a chargeable development, or part of a chargeable development, if it comprises self-build housing or self-build communal development.
Words in reg. 54A(1) omitted (31.12.2020) by virtue of The State Aid (Revocations and Amendments) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/1470), reg. 1(2), Sch. 2 para. 11(11)(a) (with Sch. 3)
2 Self-build housing is a dwelling built by P (including where built following a commission by P) and occupied by P as P’s sole or main residence.
3 The amount of any self-build communal development that P can claim the exemption in relation to is to be determined in accordance with paragraphs (4) to (6).
4 Subject to paragraph (5), development is self-build communal development if it is for the benefit of the occupants of more than one dwelling that is self-build housing, whether or not it is also for the benefit of the occupants of relevant development.
5 Development is not self-build communal development if it is—
(a) wholly or partly made up of one or more dwellings;
(b) wholly or mainly for use by the general public;
(c) wholly or mainly for the benefit of occupants of development which is not relevant development; or
(d) to be used wholly or mainly for commercial purposes.
6 The amount of any self-build communal development that P can claim the exemption in relation to must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
X = the gross internal area of the self-build communal development;
A = the gross internal area of the dwelling in relation to which P is claiming the exemption for self-build housing; and
B = the gross internal area of the self-build housing and relevant development, provided that the self-build communal development is for the benefit of that housing and that relevant development.
7 In this regulation, “relevant development” means development which is authorised by the same planning permission as the self-build housing in question, but which does not include the self-build housing or the self-build communal development.
8 In order to claim the exemption in relation to self-build communal development, P must assume liability to pay CIL in respect of that development (and may do so jointly in respect of the chargeable development) and either claim the exemption—
(a) at the same time as P claims the exemption in respect of the self-build housing; or
(b) where the self-build housing is granted permission through a phased planning permission, in relation to any phase of that permission.
9 An exemption or relief under this regulation is known as an exemption for self-build housing.

2 An amount which has become payable to a collecting authority under these Regulations and which has not been paid is recoverable in accordance with this Chapter.
Reg. 95 in force at 6.4.2010, see reg. 1

96 Liability orders: reminder notice
1 Before a collecting authority applies for a liability order it must serve on the person against whom the application is to be made a notice (“reminder notice”) which must state every amount in respect of which the authority is to make the application.
2 A reminder notice may be served in respect of an amount at any time after it has become due.
Reg. 96 in force at 6.4.2010, see reg. 1

97 Application for liability order
1 Where the amount stated in a reminder notice is wholly or partly unpaid at the end of the period of seven days beginning with the day on which the reminder notice was served, the collecting authority may apply to a magistrates’ court for an order (“liability order”) against the person by whom it is payable.
2 An application is instituted by making a complaint to a justice of the peace, and requesting the issue of a summons directed to that person to appear before the court to show why the person has not paid the outstanding amount.
3 Section 127(1) of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 (limitation of time) does not apply to such an application; but no application may be instituted in respect of an outstanding amount after the period of six years beginning with the day that amount became due.
1980 c. 43.
4 Section 55(2) of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 (non-appearance of defendant) does not apply to any proceedings under this regulation.
5 The court must make the liability order if it is satisfied that the amount has become payable by the defendant and has not been paid.
6 An order made pursuant to paragraph (5) must be made in respect of an amount equal to the aggregate of—
(a) the outstanding amount; and
(b) an amount equal to the costs reasonably incurred by the collecting authority in obtaining the order.
7 Where the outstanding amount is paid after an order has been applied for under paragraph (2) but before it has been made, the court must nonetheless (if so requested by the collecting authority) make the order in respect of an amount equal to the costs reasonably incurred by the authority in making the application.
8 A single liability order may deal with one person and one such amount as is mentioned in paragraph (6) and (7) or, if the court thinks fit, may deal with more than one person and more than one such amount.
9 No liability order may be made in pursuance of a summons issued under paragraph (2) before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the summons was served.
10 The amount in respect of which a liability order is made is enforceable in accordance with this Chapter; and accordingly for the purposes of Part 3 of the Magistrates’ Court Act 1980 (satisfaction and enforcement) it is not to be treated as a sum adjudged to be paid by order of the court.
Reg. 97 in force at 6.4.2010, see reg. 1

98 Enforcement by taking control of goods
Where a liability order has been made, payment may be enforced by using the Schedule 12 procedure.

98 Distress
1 Where a liability order has been made the authority concerned may levy the appropriate amount by distress and sale of goods of the debtor against whom the liability order was made.
2 Without prejudice to paragraph (12) no person making a distress may seize any clothing, bedding, furniture, household equipment or provisions which are necessary for satisfying the basic domestic needs of the debtor and his family.
3 The appropriate amount for the purposes of paragraph (1) is the aggregate of—
(a) an amount equal to any amount which is or forms part of the amount in respect of which the liability order was made; and
(b) a sum in respect of charges connected with distress.
4 Schedule 3 to the Non-Domestic Rating (Collection and Enforcement) (Local Lists) Regulations 1989 applies for the purpose of determining the sum referred to in paragraph (3)(b).
5 If, before any goods are seized, the appropriate amount (including charges arising up to the time of the payment or tender) is paid or tendered to the authority, the authority must accept the amount and not proceed with the levy.
6 Where an authority has seized goods of the debtor in pursuance of distress, but before sale of the goods the appropriate amount (including charges arising up to the time of the payment or tender) is paid or tendered to the authority, the authority must—
(a) accept the amount and not proceed with the levy; and
(b) make the goods available for collection by the debtor.
7 The person levying distress on behalf of the authority must—
(a) produce written evidence of the person’s authority, if so requested by the debtor;
(b) hand to the debtor, or leave at the premises where the distress is levied, a copy of this regulation and a memorandum setting out the appropriate amount; and
(c) hand to the debtor a copy of any close or walking possession agreement entered into.
8 A distress may be made anywhere in England and Wales.
9 No distress under this regulation may be made other than by a person who is authorised to act as a bailiff by a general certificate granted under section 7 of the Law of Distress Amendment Act 1888 (distress to be levied by certified bailiffs).
10 A distress shall not be deemed unlawful on account of any defect or want of form in the liability order, and no person making a distress shall be deemed a trespasser on that account.
11 No person making a distress shall be deemed a trespasser from the beginning on account of any subsequent irregularity in making the distress; but a person sustaining special damage by reason of the subsequent irregularity may recover full satisfaction for the special damage (and no more) by proceedings in trespass or otherwise.
12 The provisions of this regulation do not affect the operation of any enactment which protects goods of any class from distress.

99 Appeals in connection with distress
1 A person aggrieved by the levy of, or an attempt to levy, a distress may appeal to a magistrates’ court.
2 The appeal must be instituted by making a complaint to a justice of the peace, and requesting the issue of a summons directed to the authority which levied or attempted to levy the distress to appear before the court to answer to the matter by which the person is aggrieved.
3 If the court is satisfied that a levy was irregular, it may—
(a) order the goods distrained to be discharged if they are in the possession of the authority;
(b) by order award compensation in respect of any goods distrained and sold.
4 The amount of compensation that may be awarded under paragraph (3)(b) is an amount equal to the amount which, in the opinion of the court, would be awarded by special damages in respect of the goods if proceedings were brought in trespass or otherwise in connection with the irregularity under regulation 98(11).
5 If the court is satisfied that an attempted levy was irregular, it may by order require the authority to desist from levying in the manner giving rise to the irregularity.

(b) the authority has sought to levy an amount by distress under regulation 98 and the person making the distress reports that they were unable (for whatever reason) to find any or sufficient goods of the debtor on which to levy the amount; and

2 On such an application being made the court must (in the debtor’s presence) inquire as to the debtor’s means and inquire whether the failure to pay the debt which led to the liability order being made against the debtor was due to the debtor’s wilful refusal or culpable neglect.
3 If (and only if) the court is of the opinion that the failure to pay the debt was due to the debtor’s wilful refusal or culpable neglect it may if it thinks fit—
(a) issue a warrant of commitment against the debtor; or
(b) fix a term of imprisonment and postpone the issue of the warrant until such time and on such conditions (if any) as the court thinks just.
4 The warrant must be made in respect of the relevant amount; and the relevant amount for this purpose is the aggregate of—

(c) after a warrant has been issued, the amount stated in it is paid or tendered to the authority,
the authority must accept the amount concerned, take no further steps as regards its recovery, and the debtor, if committed to prison, must be released.

the period of imprisonment ordered under the warrant must be the term fixed under paragraph (3) reduced by such numbers of days as bears to the total number of days in that term less one day the same proportion as the part paid bears to that amount.
10 Where, after the issue of a warrant, a part payment of the amount stated in it is made, the period of imprisonment must be reduced by such number of days as bears to the total number of days in the term of imprisonment specified in the warrant less one day the same proportion as the part paid bears to the amount so stated.
11 In calculating a reduction required under paragraphs (9) and (10)—
(a) any fraction of a day must be left out of account; and
(b) rule 55(1), (2) and (3) of the Magistrates’ Courts Rules 1981 (payment after imprisonment imposed) applies (so far as is relevant) to a part payment as if the imprisonment concerned were imposed for want of sufficient distress to satisfy a sum adjudged to be paid by a magistrates’ court.

SCHEDULE 1 Calculation of chargeable amount etc
Regulations 40 and 50

PART 1 Standard cases

1 Chargeable amount: standard cases
(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;

(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,
provided that no part of any building may be taken into account under both of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.
(7) The value Ex must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
EP = the value of E for the previously commenced phase of the planning permission;
GP = the value of G for the previously commenced phase of the planning permission; and
KPR = the total of the values of KR for the previously commenced phase of the planning permission.
(8) Where the collecting authority does not have sufficient information, or information of sufficient quality, to enable it to establish that a relevant building is an in-use building, it may deem it not to be an in-use building.
(9) Where the collecting authority does not have sufficient information, or information of sufficient quality, to enable it to establish—
(a) whether part of a building falls within a description in the definitions of KR and E in sub-paragraph (6); or
(b) the gross internal area of any part of a building falling within such a description,
it may deem the gross internal area of the part in question to be zero.
(10) In this paragraph—

“new build” means that part of the chargeable development which will comprise new buildings and enlargements to existing buildings, and in relation to a chargeable development granted planning permission under section 73 of TCPA 1990 (“the new permission”) includes any new buildings and enlargements to existing buildings which were built pursuant to a previous planning permission to which the new permission relates;
“relevant building” means a building which is situated on the relevant land on the day planning permission first permits the chargeable development;
“relevant charging schedules” means the charging schedules which are in effect—
(i) at the time planning permission first permits the chargeable development, and
(ii) in the area in which the chargeable development will be situated;
“retained part” means part of a building which will be—

(6) For the purpose of determining any notional relief—
(a) the requirements of Part 6 of these Regulations apply as if—
(i) in relation to social housing relief, regulation 50 and paragraph 6 apply with the modifications set out paragraphs (a) to (c) of sub-paragraph (4);
(ii) the withdrawal provisions did not apply;
(b) except for social housing relief, a charging authority may not apply a notional relief for P where the type of relief the authority is considering applying is not applied in relation to B.
(7) Where P is an in-CIL permission, the amount of CIL payable in respect of the chargeable development granted by B shall be calculated in accordance with sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) as if any reference to P in those provisions were a reference to the most recently granted pre-CIL permission (ignoring any planning permissions where none of the conditions of that permission are of a type changed by B).
(8) If the amount calculated under sub-paragraph (3) is negative then the amount of CIL payable is deemed to be zero.
(9) Subject to sub-paragraph (12), where after B was granted a new planning permission is granted in relation to the development under section 73 of TCPA 1990, this paragraph applies as if any reference to B were a reference to the new planning permission.
(10) Where P is a pre-CIL permission, which is an outline planning permission, and the amount of CIL payable in respect of B is calculated under this paragraph before P first permits development then—
(a) if the charging authority is satisfied it has sufficient information to calculate Y, that figure is the amount so calculated;
(b) if the charging authority is satisfied it does not have sufficient information to calculate Y, the amount of CIL payable in respect of B is deemed to be zero.
(11) Sub-paragraph (10)(b) applies only once in relation to a development.
(12) Where sub-paragraph (10) applies in relation to B and after B was granted—
(a) a new planning permission (C) is granted in relation to the development under section 73 of TCPA 1990; and
(b) C changes a condition subject to which the P referred to in sub-paragraph (10) was granted,
then when calculating the chargeable amount in relation to C, sub-paragraphs (3) to (6) apply as if any reference to B were a reference to that P.
(13) In this paragraph—
“applicable relief” means any relief (including any relief carried over under regulation 58ZA) which, at the time any calculation under this paragraph is carried out, has been granted in relation to the development by the collecting authority in accordance with Part 6 of these Regulations (as modified by this paragraph) and not withdrawn;
“in-CIL permission” means a planning permission granted in relation to a development where on the date the permission is granted the development is situated in an area for which the charging authority has a charging schedule in effect;
“pre-CIL permission” means a planning permission granted in relation to a development where on the date the permission is granted the development is situated in an area for which the charging authority has no charging schedule in effect;
“withdrawal provisions” means—
(a) regulation 42C (withdrawal of the exemption for residential annexes);
(b) regulation 48 (withdrawal of charitable relief);
(c) regulation 53 (withdrawal of social housing relief);
(d) regulation 54D (withdrawal of the exemption for self-build housing); and
(e) regulation 67(5) (acknowledgment to specify date clawback period ends).
(14) Part 11 of these Regulations (planning obligations) shall not apply in relation to the development referred to in sub-paragraph (1).

8 Transitional cases: pre-CIL phased permissions ‘amended’ when CIL is in effect
(1) Where all the criteria set out in sub-paragraph (2) are satisfied by a chargeable development which is granted planning permission (B) under section 73 of TCPA 1990, paragraph 7 applies for determining the chargeable amount with the modifications set out in sub-paragraph (3).
(2) The criteria are—
(a) a pre-CIL phased permission is granted in relation to the development;
(b) B is later granted in relation to the development and B is an in-CIL phased permission; and
(c) B changes a condition subject to which a previous phased planning permission (PP) in relation to the development was granted.
(3) The modifications referred to in sub-paragraph (1) are that paragraph 7 applies as if—
(a) any reference to the development were a reference to the phase of the development;
(b) any reference to P were a reference to PP; and
(c) after sub-paragraph (8) there were inserted—

“8A If the amount calculated under sub-paragraph (3) is negative, a phase credit is created from that phase (“the donating phase”) equal to the difference.
8B Where—
(a) development under B, in relation to the donating phase, has commenced, and
(b) a developer has applied to the collecting authority on a form published by the Secretary of State (or a form to substantially the same effect),
all or part of a phase credit is applied to reduce the amount of CIL due (and not already paid) in respect of another phase (“the receiving phase”).
8C Subject to sub-paragraph (8D), a phase credit (or the part of a phase credit) which has been applied in one receiving phase may not be used in any other phase.
8D Where after a phase credit has been applied to a receiving phase an amended phased planning permission is granted and the effect of that permission (before the application of the phase credit to the amended receiving phase) is such that there is no amount of CIL payable, then the phase credit may, at the discretion of the developer (and provided the developer makes a new valid application under sub-paragraph (8B)), be applied in relation to another receiving phase.
8E In sub-paragraphs (8A) to (8D)—
“amended phased planning permission” means a phased planning permission granted under section 73 of TCPA 1990 in relation to the development which is or forms part of a receiving phase;
“developer” means a person who—
(a) has assumed liability to pay CIL in respect of both the donating phase and the receiving phase; or
(b) has assumed liability to pay CIL in respect of only the receiving phase and has the written agreement, for the phase credit to be applied to the receiving phase, from the person who has assumed liability to pay CIL in respect of the donating phase.”

EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of these Regulations)
Part 11 of the Planning Act 2008 (c. 29) (“the Act”) provides for the imposition of a charge to be known as Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). It specifies who may charge CIL (known as “charging authorities”) and includes outline provision on other aspects of the charge including how liability to pay CIL is incurred, how CIL is charged and collected and the application of CIL to infrastructure and enforcement. These Regulations implement the detail of CIL using powers provided in Part 11 of the Act.
Part 2 of these Regulations defines a number of key terms required by the Act and which are referred to in the Regulations. In particular regulation 5 defines planning permission for the purposes of Part 11 of the Act, regulation 6 modifies the definition of development in section 209(1) of the Act and regulation 7 defines when development is to be treated as commencing for the purposes of CIL.
A charging authority proposing to charge CIL must issue a charging schedule setting the rates and other criteria by reference to which the amount of CIL chargeable in its area is to be determined. Part 3 of these Regulations includes provision relating to the content of charging schedules and their preparation, examination by an independent person and publication. Regulation 14 sets out matters to which a charging authority must and may have regard when setting the rates in its charging schedule.
Part 3 sets out how liability to pay CIL is incurred. Regulation 31 sets out the procedure where a person wishes to assume liability to pay CIL in accordance with section 208(1) of the Act. Where nobody has assumed liability and development has commenced, liability is in most cases apportioned between the owners of the land on which the development will be situated (regulations 33 and 34). Regulation 40 specifies how the amount of CIL payable in respect of a chargeable development (“the chargeable amount”) must be calculated.
Part 6 sets out exemptions and relief from liability to pay CIL. Regulation 42 provides that liability does not arise where the gross internal area of new buildings and enlargements to existing buildings would be less than 100 square metres. Regulations 43 to 48 provide for an exemption and relief from liability for charitable institutions. Regulation 49 to 54 provide for an exemption where a development is to include social housing. These provisions also provide for the withdrawal of relief where development ceases to be eligible for relief (regulations 48 and 53). Regulations 55 to 58 allow a charging authority to grant other relief in exceptional circumstances.
Part 7 sets out how CIL should be spent. Subject to regulations 60 and 61, regulation 59 provides that a charging authority must apply CIL to funding infrastructure to support the development of its area. Infrastructure is defined in section 216(2) of the Act as amended by regulation 63. Regulations 60 and 61 set out the circumstances in which CIL may be applied to administrative expenses, reimburse expenditure already incurred on infrastructure and repay loans. Regulation 62 sets out the reporting requirements with respect to CIL.
Part 8 contains a number of provisions relating to the administration of CIL. In particular regulation 65 requires the collecting authority to issue a liability notice in respect of each chargeable development stating the chargeable amount payable. The collecting authority must also serve a demand notice on each person liable to pay CIL in respect of a chargeable development stating the amounts payable by the person and the dates on which those payments are due. Regulations 70 to 76 contain provision on payment of CIL. In particular regulation 73 allows payment to be made by way of an acquisition of land with the agreement of the charging authority.
Part 9 contains provisions on the enforcement of CIL. Chapter 1 provides for the imposition of surcharges and interest for late payment. Chapter 2 provides for the imposition of a CIL stop notice to stop development until payment of an amount due is forthcoming. Chapter 3 provides for the recovery of CIL which has not been paid. The collecting authority may apply to a magistrates’ court for a liability order, levy distress, apply for a charging order and ultimately apply for a warrant committing a debtor to prison. Chapter 4 contains a number of other enforcement provisions including a power to enter land and a power to prosecute offences.
Part 10 provides for appeals in a number of circumstances. A person may request a review of the calculation of a chargeable amount and, if aggrieved at the decision on review, appeal that decision (regulations 113 and 114). Appeals are also available in respect of apportionment of liability (regulation 115) and a grant of charitable relief (regulation 116). A person may also appeal against the imposition of a surcharge (regulation 117), a determination by the collecting authority of when development is deemed to have commenced (regulation 118) and the imposition of a CIL stop (regulation 119).
Part 11 sets out a number of limitations on the use of planning obligations under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (c. 8) in respect of CIL liable development.
Part 12 includes provision on collection and enforcement in relation to the Crown, provision on service of documents and transitional provision.
