Community Infrastructure Levy

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge that local authorities in England and Wales can levy on new building developments. Its purpose is to raise funds to support the growth of communities by funding infrastructure projects like roads, schools, and parks. Developers pay the levy as part of their building process, with the amount calculated based on the size and type of development. The money collected helps ensure that new developments have the necessary infrastructure in place to serve residents and contribute to sustainable growth.
