Decision details

A CIL preliminary draft charging schedule is a document which sets out the charging authority’s initial proposals for the levy, for public consultation. The authority must take into account the comments it receives when firming up its proposals in the form of the CIL draft charging schedule. This document then goes forward for examination.

The preliminary draft charging schedule should go beyond broad proposals for the levy. It should be based on evidence about the infrastructure needs of the area and the ability of development in that area to fund that infrastructure based on viability evidence. Providing sufficient detail at the preliminary draft stage will reduce the need for later amendments.
