The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) came into force in April 2010. It allows local authorities in England and Wales to raise funds from developers undertaking new building projects. The money can be used to contribute to; ‘pump prime’; or help lever in investment for a wide range of infrastructure that is needed to support new development. In order to be considered capable of being implemented a CIL must not have a detrimental effect on development (taken as a whole) in the King’s Lynn & West Norfolk Borough area.
Preliminary consultation took place with the development industry and other interested parties in January 2013, and the consultant used the information and comment as input for the Viability Assessment. The Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk has now drawn up a Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule and is consulting on this. This document outlines the possible rates of CIL that could be applied in the Borough.
