Article summary

Planning analysis: The court has upheld a surcharge issued by a collecting authority against a self-builder in respect of community infrastructure levy (CIL) liability, for commencing development without a commencement notice having been submitted. The decision reminds developers of the importance of adhering strictly to the procedural requirements of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010, SI 2010/948 (the CIL Regulations), even if the collecting authority is for all intents and purposes aware of the date on which works commenced.
