Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

Representation ID: 1737

Received: 30/01/2015

Respondent: Cogent Land LLP (Cogent)

Representation Summary:

Having reviewed this list we do not believe that the operation of CIL and Section 106 has been clearly defined and properly accounted for within the viability evidence. We are subsequently concerned about the scale of Section 106 contributions that will continue to be sought alongside the proposed CIL rates on sites within the Borough, particularly strategic or large sites. Given that a number of development scenarios tested were shown to be unviable irrespective of the introduction of a CIL, extra care should be taken to ensure that the obligations required through S106 in addition to CIL do not combine to threaten the delivery of development in the Borough.
