PAYMENT IN KIND POLICY

PAYMENT IN KIND POLICY

Advocate Posts: 103 Join Date: 05/09/13 Recent Posts

Hi All,

Are any Councils operating a Payment in Kind Policy?

If so, do you require people to apply on an application form or do you want a letter?

What level of information do applicants need to provide?

We are setting up a policy and would be grateful for any assistance rather than reinventing the wheel.

Many Thanks

Rebecca

Very tricky mechanism - you could try Tower Hamlets or Wokingham

RE: PAYMENT IN KIND POLICY

Hi Rebecca,

In our charging schedule document (www.birmingham.gov.uk/cil), we have included the ability to pay in kind, but at our discretion. It states "It may be possible to pay your CIL liability in kind, through either land or infrastructure, and we will assess each application and make a decision on a case by case basis. Please contact Hayley Anderson at Hayley.anderson@birmingham.gov.uk or 0121 303 4820 for further information. Please note, should we agree to an in kind payment of CIL liability, these payments must be agreed through a land or infrastructure agreement before starting on site and can be full or part payment of the CIL liability. Land or infrastructure must be valued by an independent valuer to ascertain open market value of land or the cost of the infrastructure to decide how much of the CIL liability will be paid by the in kind payment. Further information regarding in kind payments is contained within the CIL regulations."

We wanted the ability to assess each in kind application to ensure it does not take funding away from a higher priority project for CIL receipts, rather than adopt a blanket approach.

Hayley.
