Guidance on other relevant documents to accompany your application

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

All planning applications, including those for Lawful Development Certificates, must have the CIL additional information form submitted alongside them (see below). We require this additional information to determine whether a charge is due, to determine the amount of CIL payable and to provide advice on any possible relief and the associated relief procedure. The CIL guidance document provides advice on how to fill in the CIL additional information form. View all CIL forms
