Decision details

Epsom and Ewell Borough Council adopted its Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging schedule on 29 April 2014 to take effect from the 1 July 2014.   This introduced a CIL charge for each square metre of floor area in new developments of eligible residential, convenience retail, student accommodation and care homes granted planning permission.   

The Council’s Community Infrastructure Levy Instalment Policy came into effect on 1 July 2014. The policy is now over nine years old and has therefore been reviewed following a benchmarking process with neighbouring local planning authorities.

It is recommended that the CIL instalment policy is updated to increase the thresholds for when CIL liable developments pay in instalments.

Following consideration, the Committee unanimously resolved to:

(1)      Adopt the Epsom and Ewell CIL Instalment Policy (November 2023) attached as Appendix 1 to come into effect on the 1 April 2024 and supersede the current CIL Instalment Policy on this date.
