CIL Calculator 

Terms of Service

This calculator will give you an indication of the CIL charge payable on a chargeable development, given the parameters you supply. 

Details of the CIL rates (per square metre) for the current charging year are available via the Annual CIL Rate Summary published on the Council's website. 

The calculator is made available for information purposes only. The CIL Calculator does not confirm the CIL Liability, and does not constitute legal advice. You should not rely on the calculator when making decisions which depend on the amount of CIL payable as the CIL Liability is only confirmed by a CIL Liability Notice.  

All CIL Liabilities must be calculated in accordance with Schedule 1 of The Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended). 

The CIL chargeable development does not exist until planning permission is granted, and a CIL Liability Notice will be issued for the chargeable development following the grant of planning permission. The Liability Notice will confirm the CIL chargeable area and amount and it is the Liability Notice which establishes the amount of CIL which is payable.

Paying CIL in Instalments
The Council has adopted an Instalments policy for the payment of CIL. The relevant instalment policy depends on the commencement date of the chargeable development. Details of the Instalment policy are available here

The number of instalments and amount due in each instalment depends on the overall CIL liability. 

Please note that eligibility to pay in instalments is dependent on the relevant provisions of the CIL Regulations. In certain circumstances, elibility to pay in instalments does not apply (or will be lost) and the CIL liability will be payable in full on the relevant date. This includes where an instalment payment is not received in full on or before the due date.  

Phased Development
In cases where a development which has been permitted in phases, each phase is treated as separate chargeable development for the purposes of CIL, and each phase will has its own chargeable area and amount. 

CIL Reliefs
The CIL Regulations do provide for CIL Relief in specified circumstances and according to the eligibility criteria. However, reliefs must be claimed in accordance with the process set out in the Regulations, and reliefs are not automatically granted. If the correct process is not followed, then eligibility for relief can be lost. Relief can also be withdrawn once granted if the process is not followed and/or if there is a disqualifying event. The loss of relief will result in CIL becoming due for payment.
