Jobs, homes and prosperity for local people
In April 2010 a new way of collecting developer contributions to help fund infrastructure projects was introduced. The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) allows local authorities to charge a tariff, at a locally set rate, on many types of new development. The money can then be used to pay for a wide range of additional infrastructure that is required as a result of development. In Greater Norwich this can include transport schemes, green infrastructure, schools and community facilities.
Charging schedules were produced jointly by Broadland District Council, Norwich City Council and South Norfolk Council, working together with Norfolk County Council. Each of the district councils is the “Charging Authority” for their area.
The Examination into the Charging Schedules for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk was undertaken as a Joint Examination under Regulation 22 of the Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) Regulations 2011.
The examination was undertaken by Mr Keith Holland, BA (HONS) DIPTP MRTPI ARICS, an independent planning inspector provided by the Planning Inspectorate.
The Programme Officer for this examination was Annette Feeney, who acted as an impartial officer of the Examination under the Examiner’s direction and not an employee of the Council.
Examination hearings were held on 16 and 17 October 2012 and the Examiner’s Report was received on 4 December 2012.
On Friday 10 August 2012 Broadland District Council, Norwich City Council and South Norfolk Council submitted their Draft Charging Schedules and supporting documents to the Planning Inspectorate for independent joint examination (under Regulation 22 of the Community Infrastructure Regulations 2010 (as amended)).
A number of documents form the Community Infrastructure Levy Document Library. The library contains all the submission documents but also includes national planning policy, evidence documents and other documents which informed the preparation of the CIL Draft Charging Schedules. The full list is available here. All documents are referenced and can be located in the document library here.
In response to representations received under Regulation 17, Broadland District Council, Norwich City Council and South Norfolk Council produced Statements of Modifications, setting out the changes the being made to the Draft Charging Schedules. These Statements were published on Monday 6 August 2012.
