Our instalment policy, local land charges and land payments
Our payment procedure
Once the CIL payment becomes due, we'll send you a Demand Notice which will tell you what you need to pay, and when by. Each payment we received will be acknowledged once it has cleared through our bank.
To find out more about payment periods, please view our Instalment Policy document below.
Notification to land charges (council)
Once you've paid, and providing you're not subject to any relief or clawback periods, we'll remove the CIL charge from the local land charges.
However, if relief has been granted, the CIL charge will remain on the local land charges register for:
- seven years from commencement, for social housing relief and charitable relief
- three years from completion, for self-build houses and annexes
The CIL charge will be removed when the time period lapses.
However, in the following circumstances, the relief or exemption will have to be paid back in full:
- a self-build house, which has received an exemption, is sold or let within three years from the completion date - CIL will be due immediately
- a residential annex, which has received an exemption, is sold or let separately to the main residential property within three years - CIL will be due immediately
- a social/affordable housing dwelling (having received relief) is sold within seven years as a market house - CIL will be due immediately
If a permission or development is not built, the CIL charge will be removed from the land charges register upon expiry of the planning permission.
Land payments
The CIL Regulations allow for all or part of a CIL charge to be paid by one or more land payments (where you offer us a piece of land of the same value).
The amount of CIL paid will be taken to be equal to the value of the land provided.
The acquired land should be used to provide or facilitate the provision of infrastructure to support the development of the area.
Please contact us if you wish to consider using land payments.
