The Council recently released their latest ‘H & F planning news’ : This may be accessed by visiting http://www.lbhf.gov.uk/Directory/Environment_and_Planning/Planning/
The main change here is the introduction on 1 September 2015 of ‘The Community Infrastructure Levy’ or CIL as it is referred to. The news bulletin explains what this is for and how it will be charged on all relevant planning applications for creation of new dwelling or floorspace over 100 square metres. The article does not fully explain how in most cases CIL will replace Section 106 contributions. However, within the above website link you can read how CIL and Section 106 contributions work together. (Councils cannot apply both to the same development).
