We would like your views on our initial proposals to introduce a charge on new housing and commercial developments in the borough to help pay for necessary infrastructure such as schools, roads, public transport and community facilities.

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a new planning charge that councils can set on new building developments to raise funds to help pay for the infrastructure, facilities and services needed to support growth such as road improvements, schools and community facilities.

The levy is intended to offer fairness and transparency to local authorities, communities and developers alike, balancing the need to fund infrastructure with the viability of development.

You can take part from 28 November

The consultation is open from this Friday, 28 November until 12 January. You can find out more via our website.
