Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
Representation ID: 1717
Received: 30/01/2015
Respondent: Cogent Land LLP (Cogent)
Representation Summary:
SBC is a reasonably constrained district in both administrative and physical terms. The potential for windfall development to be reliable in the future is therefore compromised. We would advise caution in respect of a reliance on windfall development to bring forward a significant proportion of housing supply in the future. No evidence is provided that current rates of delivery will endure. In respect of CIL, care should be taken to ensure that there would not be an over-reliance on windfall development
such that the anticipated collection of CIL funding, and consequently infrastructure delivery are compromised.
