Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in the Royal Borough

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a new power which enables a charge to be levied on the net increase in gross internal area floorspace arising from development in order to fund infrastructure that is needed to support development in the area.

The Mayor of London is proposing a CIL for Greater London for which a charge of £50/m2 will be levied in the Royal Borough, although medical/health services and schools/colleges are proposed to have a zero or nil charge (£0/m2) from 1 April 2012. For further information visit our dedicated CIL webpage.
