Previous updates
In order for CIL to be introduced, following the consultation the proposed rates must be considered by an independent examiner.
The Council undertook consultation on a Draft Charging Schedule in January – February 2024 and as a result of representations received, three modifications are proposed and are being consulted upon from 2 August until 2 September 2024.
To view these proposed modifications and representations made on the schedule, please go to our consultation portal.
Representations made to the January – February 2024 consultation do not need to be resubmitted as all those received will be submitted to the independent examiner when the Council submits CIL for examination. However, the Council can also still accept representations from those who didn’t respond to the January – February consultation.
