Regulation 70 (7) of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) sets a default of full payment of the Levy within 60 days of the commencement of development. National Planning Practice Guidance (Paragraph: 056 Reference ID: 25-056-20140612) recognises that few if any developments generate value until they are complete either in whole or in phases.
The 2010 Regulations also enable a Charging Authority to set an Instalment Policy that allows payments to be spread over longer periods. The authority has freedom to decide the number of payments, the amount and the time due. Within Bassetlaw it is considered reasonable that payment instalments are scheduled in proportion to the scale of development that is proposed.
Instalment Policy
In accordance with Regulation 69b of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended), Bassetlaw District Council (The Charging Authority) will apply the following Instalment Policy to all development on which CIL is liable.
The Instalment Policy 2024 came into effect on 1 June 2024 and the existing one ceased to have effect on the 31 May 2024.
| Total CIL Liability | Number of Instalments | Payment Period |
|---|---|---|
| Less than £50,000 | 1 | Payable within 90 days of the commencement date* or on substantial completion of the liable development whichever is soonest |
| £50,000 - £250,000 | 3 |
In all cases, or on substantial completion of the liable development whichever is soonest |
| Over £250,000 | 4 |
In all cases, or on substantial completion of the liable development whichever is soonest |
*The commencement date is defined in CIL Regulation 7 and will be as advised by the developer in their Regulation 67 Commencement Notice
This policy will not apply if:
- a commencement notice is not submitted by the developer to the Charging Authority prior to commencement of the chargeable development
- a valid liability notice has not been received by the Charging Authority prior to commencement of the chargeable development
- an instalment payment has not been made in full by the liable party to the Charging Authority after the end of a period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the instalment payment was due to be paid to the Charging Authority.
In these cases, the Charging Authority will issue a demand notice requiring the payment of the full CIL amount immediately.
