Community Infrastructure Levy - Draft Charging Schedule (Nov 2014)

Of the 36 scenarios tested, only 36% suggested that a CIL rate could be supported. Given the high proportion of brownfield windfall sites coming forward in the Borough, we would expect the greatest weight to be given to the results assuming BLVs 1-3. Looking at the results, this suggests that only 7 scenarios would be able to support a CIL rate. However, the maximum CIL rates indicated by BNP in the summary table (reproduced above at Table 1) suggest a rate of £50 per sq m for Market Area 6.
We would therefore ask that further explanation of the interpretation of the viability testing is provided, as we do not believe that the proposed CIL rates reflect the supporting viability evidence.
