		LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITIES (LPA)						CIL DOCUMENTS
		Across England & Wales over 180 LPAs have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) as one of the primary methods of funding local facilities necessitated by new development, alongside section 106 (TCPA1990).   Once adopted it will be mandatory, unless the Regulations give an exemption or relief, but these are not automatic.						The whole CIL process is very procedural and failure to submit the required forms at the right time can lead to penalty surcharges and interest on any late payment.   If required, you must complete and submit a series of CIL forms including the Assumption of Liability (Form 2) and a Commencement Notice (Form 6) and others subject to your situation/project.   The LPA may issue a Liability Notice and Demand Notice to trigger payment of any CIL assessed once permission is granted.
		CIL RISKS						OUR CIL SERVICES
		Failure to follow the Regulations and issue the necessary documents at the correct stage can create problems and increase your CIL liability.   Simple errors can make a very big difference – leading to £’000s in avoidable CIL payments.   Additionally, the LPA can impose Surcharges and Interest if payments are late or process steps not correctly followed – increasing your costs further.   IMPORTANTLY MOST FORMS OR ISSUES MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE WORK COMMENCES.   Reviews (Reg.113) or Appeals (Reg.114) or other available challenges to the numbers or procedures are time sensitive so must be actioned within strict time scales.   Early advice ensures you have options and understand these complex Regulations and avoid costly errors.						Our experienced team can help you:   Understand the CIL Regulations.   Review how YOUR project is impacted by CIL.   Validate CIL calculations – or parts thereof:         Floor Areas,     CIL Rates and     Indexation adjustments.   Advise & secure Exemption and/or Relief.   Draft, complete and submit required CIL Forms.   Manage and undertake challenges, reviews or appeals.   Expert support for Litigation/Dispute Resolution.
