CIL Charges – Annual Indexation
In calculating individual charges, we are required to obtain the ‘RICS Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Index' (as published by the Building Cost Information Service of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) on 1 November each year. This figure must then be used in the CIL calculation for permitted applications for the following year.
The amount of CIL payable is calculated when planning permission is granted.
Indexation will be applied to rates in the adopted CIL Charging Schedule on the 1 January annually.
The below table sets out our current indexation rates:
| Indexed CIL rate from 1 January 2025 (391) | Indexed CIL rate from 1 January 2026 (400) |
|---|---|
| £54.69m2 | £55.94m2 |
| £82.03m2 | £83.92m2 |
| £136.71m2 | £139.86m2 |
