The Newham CIL Charging Schedule was adopted by a meeting of Full Council on Monday 30 September 2013 (effective from1st January 2014), following conclusion of the public examination and receipt of the Inspector’s Report (PDF) on 22nd July 2013.
Annual Infrastructure Funding Statement
The Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) provides a summary of all financial and non-financial developer contributions relating to the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and Deeds of planning obligation (S106 Deeds). Reporting on Section 278 Highways agreements is not a mandatory requirement of the IFS and will not be reported on.
Effective 1 September 2019 following amendments to The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulations require any authority that issues a CIL liability notice or enter into Deeds of Planning obligation (a “contribution receiving authority”) to publish an annual Infrastructure Funding Statement by no later than 31 December in each calendar year, in relation to the previous financial year known as “the reported year”. Read the latest report (PDF).
In summary, the report provides information of:
- what are Developer contributions?
- what is the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)?
- what is a Deed of planning obligation (S106 Deed)?
- the infrastructure projects or types of infrastructure which the charging authority intends will be, or may be, wholly or partly funded by CIL.
- a report on CIL for the previous financial year which includes the total amount of CIL received, the total amount of CIL expenditure and summary details of how CIL has been spent.
- a report of planning obligations for the previous financial year which includes the sum of planning obligations entered into, the total amount of S106 Deed contributions received, the total amount of S106 Deed expenditure and a summary of how S106 Deed contributions have been spent.
