We are looking at implementing CIL in July and a number of questions keep arising. The most recent being the relationship between exception sites, CIL and the money given to the Parish Council’s. The example I have is that we have an exception site of 8 affordable homes which won’t have to pay CIL. However, it will still be 8 homes being built in the Parish so as I understand it they will still be entitled to 15% (no neighbourhood plan in place) of CIL monies. However, as none is collected from the development then does this mean that that they get 15% of nothing i.e. no money? This seems slightly at odds with the idea of CIL and actually has wider connotations for larger schemes as well. Any comments would be appreciated.
