Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
Representation ID: 1734
Received: 30/01/2015
Respondent: Cogent Land LLP (Cogent)
Representation Summary:
The CIL Guidance places a strong emphasis on the need for Local Authorities to demonstrate, when setting their Charging Schedule, that they have been realistic, when testing viability, about what residual Section 106 and 278 requirements will remain: "When a charging authority introduces the levy, section 106 requirements should be scaled back to those matters that are directly related to a specific site... For transparency, charging authorities should have set out at examination how their section 106 policies will be varied, and the extent to which they have met their section 106 targets"22.
