CIL Instalment Policy 2024

Default payment terms are established by the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended). In accordance with Regulation 70(7), the default requirement is for the full payment of the levy to be made within 60 days of the commencement of development.

The Regulations also enable a Charging Authority to adopt an instalment policy to decide the number of payments, the amount, and to spread payments over longer periods. Within Bassetlaw, it is considered reasonable that an instalment policy is in proportion to the scale of development that is proposed.

The Policy

In accordance with Regulation 69b of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended), Bassetlaw District Council (The Charging Authority) will apply the following Instalment Policy to all development on which CIL is liable.

The Instalment Policy 2024 came into effect on 1 June 2024 and the existing one ceased to have effect on the 31 May 2024.
