Hi,
We have a single development which is made up of a new build element
and a conversion element. We have issued a planning permission for
the development as a whole, together with a single CIL Liability
Notice. The landowner has assumed liability to pay the CIL for the
whole development.
However he has not informed us that he wishes to sell the new build
element to a separate developer and transfer the liability for this
part of the development to the new owner. He intends to develop the
conversion himself and continue to assume liability for this element.
Does anyone have any advice on whether it is possible to transfer part
of an assumed liability? The CIL Regulations allow transfer of
liability (Reg.32) but do not appear to address a part transfer.
Given that there is a single permission and liability notice, we are
assuming that whichever part of the development commences first will
trigger the CIL charge for the whole of the development.
Any advice on how to address this would be very welcome.
