The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has confirmed that it has asked the British Property Federation (BPF) to set-up a small working party to look at experience with the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
A DCLG spokesman said: ‘Minister for Decentralisation and Cities Greg Clark has asked the BPF to convene a small working group made up of representatives from the private and public sector to examine the operation of CIL based on their experience to date.’??The group from the trade body is expected to report back to Government in the autumn.
In a related development the planning inspector who examined the Borough of Poole’s CIL draft charging schedule has concluded that, subject to one modification, it is appropriate. As expected the change required will mean the removal of the differential CIL rate of £200 per square metre for large superstores.
