We have a development that has received 2 separate planning
permissions to build as follows:
1. Subdivision of site and the erection of a new dwelling and single
story extension to existing dwelling
2. Demolition of existing dwelling and erection of 3 detached
dwellings with shared vehicular crossover and access drive.
The new dwelling has already been built under permission '1' and the
CIL has been paid. The owner of the of the site is now selling and
proposes to sell to 2 different purchasers of the remaining 2 plots of
land thus splitting the curtilage of the original planning permissions.
My query is what will happen to the CIL because CIL kicks in when
development starts and if there are 2 different owners and one decides
not to develop either now or in the future (i.e. doesn't demolish the
existing dwelling but chooses to live in it) the person who develops
is in theory liable for the whole CIL charge which is unfair. Does new
planning applications have to be submitted to solve the issue?
