The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a financial charge that local authorities can impose on new developments in their area. The purpose of this levy is to help fund essential infrastructure projects that support the growth and development of communities.
When a new building or development is constructed, it can place additional demands on local services and infrastructure, such as roads, schools, parks, and public transport. The CIL allows local councils to collect funds from developers, which can then be used to improve or create the necessary infrastructure to accommodate the growing population and enhance the quality of life for residents.
The amount charged through the CIL varies depending on the type and size of the development, and it is calculated based on a set rate established by the local authority. This means that larger developments may contribute more to the fund than smaller ones.
The funds collected through the CIL are typically used for projects that benefit the community as a whole, such as building new schools, improving transport links, or creating recreational spaces. This helps ensure that as new homes and businesses are built, the necessary infrastructure is also developed to support them.
In summary, the Community Infrastructure Levy is a vital tool for local councils to ensure that new developments contribute to the overall improvement of the community, making it a better place for everyone to live and work.
