Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
Representation ID: 1711
Received: 30/01/2015
Respondent: Cogent Land LLP (Cogent)
Representation Summary:
The CIL Regulations previously required the Charging Authority to 'aim to strike what appears to the Charging Authority to be an appropriate balance...' (emphasis added), but the amendments now mean that the Charging Authority is required to 'strike an appropriate balance'. The onus has therefore shifted away from being a matter of opinion to a matter of fact.
It is therefore of paramount importance that the proposed CIL rates are supported and consistent with the viability evidence and that the Council has undertaken sufficient work to demonstrate that the proposed rates will not put their housing supply at risk
