CIL draft charging schedule
Introduction
The CIL is a charge paid to the City Council by some forms of new development when it receives planning permission. The funding received by the Council is invested in infrastructure and community services to make sure that the impact of new development is managed appropriately. The Council already operates a CIL but the rates were set back in 2013 and so need to be reviewed. These proposed CIL rates are set out in a revised Community Infrastructure Levy Draft Charging Schedule.
We want to get your thoughts on the proposed CIL rates for different types of development. Proposed CIL rates have been determined on the basis of the economic viability of new development and the available background evidence, which we appreciate is a technical exercise.
You can use this page to view and comment the proposed CIL rates from 14th December 2022. You have until the 25th January 2023 to respond, by completing the questions when prompted then submit by selecting 'next' at the bottom of the page. You can comment on as little or as much as you want. We ask you to provide your email address to prevent multiple anonymous submissions being made.
Please note CIL rates are updated each year and the existing rates have yet to be indexed for 2023.

The rates will generally be levied against the gross internal floor area of all new dwellings/residential units (irrespective of size) and all other new development exceeding 100 square metres. There are exemptions for affordable housing custom and self-build proposals, buildings into which people do not normally go and buildings used by charities.

†: Retail is defined as uses that fall within Classes A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 as amended, or any other order altering, amending or varying that Order, and related sui generis uses. In accordance with Government guidance, the rates have been set on the basis of the intended use of development. The definition of ‘use’ for this purpose is not tied to the classes of development in the Town and Country Planning Act (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended) although reference has been made in Table 1 to use classes in that Order to provide a useful reference point. Therefore the reference made to the use classes is not limited to those use classes.

5 Charging zones
Charging Zones are set out in the accompanying map at Figure 1. The Exeter Local Plan First Review City Centre Inset Map provides a more detailed definition of the city centre which is used to determine retail charges. It is available from: http://pub.exeter.gov.uk/asp/local_plan/map_htm/city/city_072.htm
We have also produced an interactive map to view the city centre area in more detail.
6 How the chargeable amount will be calculated
The amount to be charged for each development will be calculated in accordance with Schedule 1 of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended). For the purposes of the formulae in Schedule 1, the relevant rate (R) is the rate for each charging zone/use shown in Table 1.
7 Statutory compliance
The Charging Schedule will be issued, approved and published in accordance with the CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended) and Part 11 of the Planning Act 2008 (as amended).
