Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

All planning applications must provide sufficient information to allow the city council to determine whether the development is liable to pay the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Applicants are therefore required to complete the CIL Additional Information Form which must be submitted with their application(s). Guidance notes are also available.

Developer Contributions (known as a Section 106 legal agreement)

Sometimes planning permission for new developments will include obligations to help support local community services and facilities, secure on site provisions such as affordable housing and to mitigate a development’s impact. These are negotiated between the developer, the council or other parties and are secured through a Section 106 or unilateral undertaking.
