CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy)
Amendments have been made to the 2010 Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulation that require the District Council to pass a proportion of CIL receipts collected from developments in their areas, directly to parish and town councils to be spent on infrastructure or anything else that is concerned with addressing the demands that development places on an area.
The District Council will pass accumulated funds to the parish every 6 months, and the parish council will be required to report on receipts and expenditure each year.
The charging authorities (the District Council) have to pass on a proportion of CIL receipts to parish and town councils from developments that take place in their area. The District Council is required to pass 15% of CIL receipts to relevant Parish and Town Councils arising from developments in their areas. This rises to 25% in areas with an adopted Neighbourhood Development Plan.
Please see the attached report which outlines the CIL payments Crick Parish Council have received from Daventry District Council for the 2016/17 year.
