East Suffolk CIL Charging Schedule Preparation

East Suffolk Council is in the initial stages of preparing a new Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule for the District and is carrying out initial consultations from Monday 15^th March to 5pm on Monday 26^th April 2021.

The Council has two existing CIL Charging Schedules, which set out the amount of CIL that certain kinds of development must pay to help contribute to the delivery of infrastructure in the district, with one covering the former Suffolk Coastal area (adopted in 2015) and one the former Waveney area (adopted in 2013).

Work has now begun the preparation of a single District-wide CIL Charging Schedule (which, on adoption, will replace the two existing Charging Schedules). This initial consultation focuses on the basic viability/development cost assumptions, to help underpin the preparation of a Viability Report, which will be a key evidence base for the CIL Charging Schedule. The Council is also consulting on a draft East Suffolk CIL Instalments Policy, which on adoption will replace the two existing CIL Instalments Policies.
