Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL)
What is NCIL?
Neighbourhood CIL (NCIL) is a portion of the Community Infrastructure Levy to be spent on local priorities. This is a fund the council collects from developments and is required to be spent in consultation with local communities.
Residents’ views were sought on community priorities to guide the allocation of NCIL funds between February and March 2020. The consultation responses have established community priorities to guide the allocation of NCIL funds. These were adopted by the council as part of the NCIL Community Priorities document in June 2020. The established community priorities remain relevant.
NCIL community priorities
The consultation established the following priorities for the next two years:
- air quality
- policing resources and emergency services
- parks and open spaces
- Streetscape
- community safety
How do communities apply for NCIL funding?
The Neighbourhood CIL is now open for applications until 7 May 2025. It offers a fantastic opportunity for local community groups to access funding for infrastructure projects in their local area.
Residents, local community groups, residents’ associations, registered charities, infrastructure providers and charitable companies may apply for NCIL funding.
Find out more and apply on the Neighbourhood CIL - 2025 webpage.
