As a general point, and something I will cover in more detail in our formal response, have any other LPAs seen a drop in residential applications (particularly majors) since adopting CIL? Some are blaming the adoption of CIL on this, so I am keen to prove them wrong if other LPAs havent seen this trend! We obviously had the mad rush to sign S106s on outstnading major resi schemes before CIL adoption, so maybe last year was particularly busy rather than this year being particularly quiet. Any experiences welcomed.
Hi Rebecca
Just read your comment - we adopted CIL on 01/09/15 and also had a flurry of S106s completed to beat the deadline. However, one S106 relating to a development of about 100 new homes didn't complete on time so the S106 was rewritten in light of the CIL. Colleagues said the developer didn't seem too worried about it - my presumption being that the combined bill for S106 and CIL will be about the same as the pre-CIL S106 would have been.
However, we are getting anecdotal evidence that some small scale developments (eg. village infills that are below affordable housing threshold) may not go ahead as our CIL rate for this size of development is quite steep and adds significantly to the build cost (£200 per m2 compared to £65 per m2 for sites above AH threshold). This particularly affects those developments that were being worked up pre-CIL, but have been approved post-CIL becasue some of the developers had not factored CIL into their build costs.
One theory regarding this type of development is that land prices may reduce over time, so there will be no net difference to build costs. It's just unfortunate for those caught by the transition.
