What is CIL?
These pages are currently being updated following the adoption of the new Bassetlaw Community Infrastructure Levy 2024. Some of the information in this section may have changed and we're working as quickly as possible to get this updated.
Public Notice: The Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) Regulations 2014 came into force on 23 February 2014. If you have a development for self-build residential an extension or annexe and this has not commenced, you may be eligible to apply for relief. For further information see below.
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge that local authorities in England and Wales can require of most types of new development in their area (based on £ per square metres), to pay for the infrastructure needed to support development. CIL charges will be based on the size, type and location of the development proposed.
If you are considering buying land for development and/or submitting a planning application in the district, please be advised that the Council has adopted a new Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule 2024, which came into effect on 1 June 2024.
This applies to all relevant applications determined from this date (including those successful on appeal and those where a resolution to grant has been made but a S106 agreement has yet to be finalised), even if they were submitted in advance of this time. CIL may also apply to Lawful Development Certificates and Permitted Development, depending on certain circumstances.
The 2023 Charging Schedule will continue to apply to all planning decisions determined up to and including 31 May 2024.
A new Instalment Policy came into effect on 1 June 2024. This applies to all relevant development where the Council has received a commencement notice and agreed that the commencement date will be from 1 June 2024. In all other cases, the 2023 Instalment Policy continues to apply.
The Council gives notice that Exceptional Circumstances Relief continues to apply in the district.
Money raised from CIL will be used to help infrastructure within the district. Further information can be found within the Infrastructure Funding Statement.
Bassetlaw District Council CIL Charge
Following an independent Examination, the Council adopted its new Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule 2024 on 29 May 2024, which came into effect on the 1 June 2024. The adoption notice can be viewed here.
This applies to all relevant applications determined from this date including approved on appeal and those where a resolution to grant has been made but a S106 agreement has yet to be finalised, even if they were submitted in advance of this time.
CIL may be required to be paid if planning permission is granted for your proposal and will be charged in pounds sterling (£) per square metre of the net additional increase in floorspace of any given development.
The amount of CIL liable will be dependent on type of use proposed, the amount of floorspace that is being created and the amount that is being lost i.e. through demolition or change of use.
The 2023 Charging Schedule will continue to apply to all planning decisions determined up to and including 31 May 2024.
A new Instalment Policy came into effect on 1 June 2024. This applies to all relevant development where the Council has received a commencement notice and agreed that the commencement date will be from 1 June 2024. In all other cases, the 2023 Instalment Policy continues to apply.
CIL Guidance:
To assist applicants and agents information is available on The CIL Process page of this website and on the Planning Portal.
CIL Instalment Policy
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.
The 2010 Regulations also enable a Charging Authority to decide the number of payments, the amount and to spread payments over longer periods. Within Bassetlaw it is considered reasonable that an Instalment Policy is in proportion to the scale of development that is proposed.
Instalment Policy
A new Instalment Policy came into effect on 1 June 2024. In accordance with Regulation 69b of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended), the Council will apply it to all relevant development where the Council has received a commencement notice and agreed that the commencement date will be from 1 June 2024.
In all other cases, the 2023 Instalment Policy continues to apply.
The instalment policies 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.
Payment in Kind
In accordance with Regulations 73, 73A, 73B and 74 of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended), Bassetlaw District Council as the charging authority for the area will allow the payment of CIL by land payments or infrastructure payments.
The Bassetlaw CIL Charging Schedule came into effect on 1 June 2024 and the payment of CIL via a Land Payment has been available from this date. The policy to allow the provision of payment in the form of an infrastructure provision will be effective from 1 June 2024.
The CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended), allow the Council to accept full or part payment of a CIL liability by way of the transfer of land to the Council. The Council may also enter into agreements to receive infrastructure as payment. Such an approach has a number of benefits. For example, where the Council has already planned to invest levy receipts in a project there may be time, cost and efficiency benefits in accepting completed infrastructure from the party liable for payment of the levy. Payment in kind can also enable developers, users and authorities to have more certainty about the timescale over which certain infrastructure items will be delivered.
Payment of CIL by Infrastructure Provision
Bassetlaw District Council will accept the provision of the following projects in lieu of part or all a CIL payment which may be due:

This infrastructure is the same as that which is currently contained in the Council’s Strategic Infrastructure List.
Where the payment of CIL by infrastructure provision is considered acceptable the Council will enter into an infrastructure agreement prior to the development commencing. This agreement will include the information specified in Regulation 73A.
Before entering into an infrastructure agreement to allow such provision, the Council will need to be satisfied that the criteria in Regulation 73A (inserted by the 2014 Regulations) are met.
It should be noted that the value of any infrastructure offered in this way will be determined by a suitably qualified independent person who will ascertain the cost to the provider including any design related costs.
For full details about making payments in kind including the criteria for accepting infrastructure payments and the process which we will go through please see the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) and the Community Infrastructure Levy Guidance.
Infrastructure Funding Statement
In accordance with the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) any authority that receives a contribution from development through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) or through section 106 planning obligations (s106) must prepare an infrastructure funding statement (IFS). This includes county councils.
The IFS contains:
- The CIL Report - a report on CIL income and expenditure for the previous financial year
- The S106 Report - a report on s106 income and expenditure for the previous financial year
- The Infrastructure List - a list of all the current planned infrastructure that could be delivered in the District.

2013 Charging Schedule
| Name of Charging Authority | Rates (£m2) at which CIL is to be Chargeable | Charging Zones | How the Chargeable Amount will be Calculated | Further Information |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bassetlaw District Council | CIL will be charged in Pounds Sterling (£) per square metre at differential rates according to the type of development and by location as set out in the Commercial and Residential Tables of this Schedule. | The Charging Zones to which CIL will be applied are those as identified on the Commercial and Residential Maps as set out within this Schedule. |
The District Council will calculate the amount of CIL chargeable to a qualifying development utilising the formula set out in Part 5 of the CIL Regulations. In summary (and subject to any changes that have occurred or may occur as a result of future amendments to the Regulations) the amount of CIL chargeable will be calculated as follows: CIL Rate x Chargeable Floor Area x BCIS Tender Price Index (at Date of Planning Permission) The Chargeable Floor Area makes allowance for previous development on the site. The net chargeable floor area amounts to the gross internal area of the chargeable development less the gross internal area of any existing buildings that qualify for exemption on the site. This summary does not take account of every aspect of the Regulations. The CIL Regulations are available to view on the Planning Policy pages or at the Council Offices at Queen’s Buildings, Potter Street, Worksop, Notts, S80 2AH (open 9.00am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday). |

CIL annual indexation notice
Community Infrastructure Levy - Indexation Guidance Notice
This is to provide guidance on how indexation will affect the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) for developments granted planning permission in Bassetlaw.
All CIL Liability Notices issued by us will include indexation in the calculation of the chargeable amount. The calculation of CIL chargeable amount is defined by the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended):
(R x A x lp) * lc.
- R - the CIL rate for that use
- A - the deemed net area chargeable at rate R
- lp - the index figure for the year in which planning permission was granted
- lc - the index figure for the year in which the charging schedule took effect
The index that must be used is set by the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended). The index figure for any given year is set on 1 January and is the index figure for 1 November of the preceding year.
For permissions granted before 1 January 2020 the rates published by the BCIS All-In Tender Price Index apply. For permissions granted on or after 1 January 2020 the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors CIL index will apply.
The index figures that will be used to calculate indexation for Bassetlaw’s adopted Charging Schedule are:
| Years | Index Figure |
