CIL Reports
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL or ‘the levy’) is a charge on development which was adopted by the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) on the 1st April 2017. The funds collected by the SDNPA are then spent on infrastructure needed to support the growth (of the new developments) planned in the National Park. Some of this money is also directly paid to parishes in which the development occurred in.
A Parish Council must use CIL money passed to it to support the development of the local council’s area, or any part of that area, by funding the provision, improvement, replacement, operation or maintenance of infrastructure.
Examples of expenditure for parishes include the provision of a sports hall, play area, bus stop, or education provision. Parish funds can also be used for the provision of affordable housing, unlike the SDNPA’s portion of CIL funds which cannot be used in relation to affordable housing.
Parish Councils are also required to keep records of payments received and how that money has been spent.
