CIL governance and spending process

The CIL governance and spending process was approved by Full Council on 25 January 2021.

The following documents set out the approach used for apportioning, prioritising and agreeing the spend of CIL monies on infrastructure schemes. If there are any questions, please contact the CIL Officer at cil@arun.gov.uk

CIL spending process

When we receive money raised from Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) it is allocated:

  • 5% for setup and admin costs of CIL
  • 15 to 25% to the town and parish councils of where the income was generated - to spend on infrastructure projects which support development in their area

This amount differs depending on whether the town or parish council has an adopted neighbourhood plan:

Allocation of CIL according to neighbourhood plan
Neighbourhood Plan Portion of Levy
Yes 25% uncapped
No 15% capped at £10 per dwelling
  •  The remaining 70 or 80% of the CIL income is allocated for strategic infrastructure as follows:
    • 70% - West Sussex County Council
    • 20% - Arun District Council
    • 10% - other

Last years' CIL money
