CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy)

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge that local authorities in the UK can impose on new developments. It helps fund vital infrastructure projects such as schools, transportation, and parks that support community growth. When a developer builds new homes or commercial spaces, they pay a set fee based on the size and type of the development. The collected funds are then used by the local council to improve facilities and services, ensuring that growth benefits the community as a whole. This levy aims to create a more sustainable and well-equipped environment for residents.
