Community Infrastructure Levy

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a new charging mechanism for securing financial contributions from developers.  

CIL will be used to provide infrastructure necessary to deliver growth across Newport and the council has produced a Draft Infrastructure Plan (pdf) (known as a Regulation 123 List) to identify what infrastructure is needed.   

The council consulted on preliminary draft CIL rates during summer 2015 and in February and March 2016 consulted on a CIL Draft Charging Schedule with the proposed CIL rates.  

The CIL Draft Charging Schedule was examined by an independent planning inspector over summer 2016, view the submission and examination documents below.  

The inspector recommended that the Charging Schedule be approved.

Next steps  

A planning inspector has recommended that the CIL Charging Schedule is approved. 

The council is further considering this recommendation and is waiting for the publication of the UK Government’s expected changes to the CIL process. 

A decision on the council’s approach to CIL will be made later in the year. 

The council will continue to seek all developer contributions through Section 106 until further notice.
