I hope you are
all well and staying safe.
Further to my
initial post of 1 month ago, are any of you receiving requests
from developers to delay their CIL payments as they cannot
afford to make them due to Covid-19 restrictions?
How are you
dealing with these requests?
I am aware that
the Government has not made any provision within the
Regulations to allow us to pause the collection of CIL and
that interest charges and loss of instalment policy payments
must be enforced but if you are / are contemplating allowing
deferred payments (i.e. not applying late payment surcharges,
which does have LA discretion) how would you establish that
the request is genuinely as a result of financial hardship
caused by Covid-19 i.e. what evidence can we ask for to prove
the need for deferred payments?
Grateful for
any suggestions / best practice tips.
