Camden CIL preliminary draft charging schedule

Overview

We are planning to introduce a Camden Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and we would like your views on our preliminary draft charging schedule.

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a new charge that local authorities will be able to collect on new developments in their area. It is based on a formula relating to the type and size of development and is collected when planning permissions for new developments are implemented. The funds gathered will be spent on infrastructure within Camden such as schools, community facilities, highways improvements and many other forms of provision which are currently funded by monies paid by developers under Section 106 obligations.

This consultation presents Camden’s Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule which sets out how much the CIL will be, expressed as a rate per square metre. Different levels can be charged in different areas or for different uses.  This consultation seeks your views of Camden proposed charging schedule.

The preliminary draft charging schedule will mainly be of interest to those who are implementing planning permissions.

Why your views matter

We want your views on our proposed rates for different uses in the preliminary draft charging schedule and your views on the boundaries set for the 3 zones.

Developers' Workshop 

We are planning to arrange a developers' workshop on Wednesday 5th December where we will present the preliminary draft charging schedule and the supporting documents and where there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions and give feedback on the consultation. 

If you would like to attend the workshop please let us know by email before Wednesday 28th November.

You will also be ale to see copies of the preliminary draft charging schedule and its supporting documents in all libraries in Camden from 8th November 2012 to 20th December 2012.
