What is the Community Infrastructure Levy?
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a levy which the Council may charge on new developments in the District.
The money raised will help the Council pay for infrastructure such as schools, transport, parks, open spaces and other community facilities required to support new housing and economic development in the District.
The Bradford District CIL is being prepared by the Council alongside the Local Plan for Bradford.
CIL Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule
The Council consulted on the first stage of introducing a charge on new development - a Community Infrastructure Levy - to support the delivery of essential infrastructure across the District.
The consultation focussed on the proposed charge rates in the Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule. A Background Report was prepared by way of further explanation. The following supporting evidence base documents were also made available for comment:
- Bradford CIL - Economic Viability Evidence
- Local Infrastructure Plan Evidence
Public Consultation - Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule (July - September 2015)
The public consultation on the Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule has now closed.
What happens next?
Once the Council has considered all the representations received, it will produce a Draft Charging Schedule, which will be subject to a further round of consultation before being submitted for Examination. The Council anticipates adopting the CIL charging rates during 2016.
