Essential guide to the CIL process

Since 1 April 2020 we have been charging Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) on the following types of development in accordance with our approved Charging Schedule:

  • residential development (including annexes and extensions) of 100m2 or more
  • new dwellings (even where the floorspace is less than 100m2)
  • flats
  • retail development - supermarkets and retail warehousing
  • Older peoples housing, sheltered housing & extra care housing

If the planning application is for one of the above you will need to follow the process set out below. If you are unsure whether CIL will apply to your proposal, please email cil@arun.gov.uk or telephone 01903 737947 for more information.
