Stage 1: Planning application & CIL additional questions form (applicant)

CIL additional questions form (applicant)

If you are applying for a development that will trigger a CIL liability (involves creation or conversion of floorspace 100sqm or more or the creation of a new dwelling) then you must complete and submit a CIL Additional Information Form (external link)  and a CIL Form 2 Assumption of Liability alongside all other application forms and supporting information.

The information provided on these forms will enable us to determine whether or not CIL is payable, to calculate the chargeable amount and to identify who we need to communicate with in relation to the CIL liability. Failure to supply this information will invalidate your application and lead to delays with your planning application.

If you think existing floorspace (to be used or demolished) should be deducted as part of the CIL calculations, you must be able to demonstrate it has been in continuous lawful use for at least six months in the last three years, prior to the development being permitted. You must supply evidence to support your claim. See CIL charges and calculating CIL for more information.

If no information is received, under Regulation 40 and Schedule 1, we can deem any existing floorspace to be zero when we calculate the chargeable rate.

All forms are available from the Planning Portal but should be returned to us at the Council.
