CIL Calculator 

Terms of Service

Use this calculator to get an estimate of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) you may need to pay for a development. The estimate is based on the information you enter and the CIL rates set by the council. The result is only a guide. It might not be the final amount you will have to pay and should not be used as legal advice or as the basis for important decisions. The council will calculate the official CIL charge after planning permission is granted and a Liability Notice is issued. At that stage, the amount may be different from the estimate shown by this calculator.

Paying CIL in Instalments
Details of the Council CIL instalment policy is available on the Council’s website here: https://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/content/planning/planning-applications/community-infrastructure-levy-cil

Phased Development
For In cases where a development which has been permitted in phases, each phase is treated as separate development for the purposes of CIL, and each phase should be entered into a separate calculator. The phasing of payments should be taken into account in any viability assessments, as this will assist with cash flow.

Relief and Exemption from CIL
If the development is not eligible for social housing relief, there are other reliefs and exemptions that may apply.
Further information on relief and exemption from CIL can be found on the National Planning Practice Guidance website at: http://planningguidance.communities.gov.uk/blog/guidance/community-infrastructure-levy/relief/
Or from Brighton & Hove City Council at: https://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/content/planning/planning-applications/community-infrastructure-levy-cil

Final CIL Liability
Formal determination of the CIL liability will be made by Brighton & Hove City Council when a Liability Notice is issued after a CIL liable application is approved.

Please note that the CIL charges produced by the calculator may be subject to change and may differ to the final calculation of CIL liability. The final calculation of the CIL chargeable amount will be based on the final gross internal area (GIA) floorspace figures proposed as part of the approved development, and will depend on the following:
- Is the floorspace of existing buildings to be demolished or retained eligible for deduction from the CIL chargeable amount?
- Is the development eligible for relief or exemption from CIL?
- Has indexation been applied?
- Have any surcharges or late payment interest been applied?

Further information and guidance is available on the Brighton & Hove City Council website and all the CIL forms are available on the Planning Portal website.
