Article summary

Planning analysis: With effect from 22 July 2020, the Community Infrastructure Levy (Coronavirus) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2020 (the CIL Coronavirus Regulations) give authorities in England more discretion to defer community infrastructure levy (CIL) payments for small and medium-sized developers without having to impose additional costs on them. They allow charging authorities in certain circumstances to defer CIL payments, disapply late payment interest and surcharge payments and credit interest already charged to developers.
