Hi all, 

Just looking for any advice please or an approach taken if you have dealt with a similar case .....we have a case where the pp was to demolish 2 houses and build flats.  The houses have been demolished so effectively works have 'commenced' and CIL should be paid.  However, due to a land ownership issue the developer has pulled away from the site completely and the build will not be going ahead.  Should we still charge the CIL-£80k?  Legislation and case law suggests it should still be paid but it feels a bit harsh.....any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks, Carmel
