Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule
Croydon Council is revising its CIL charging schedule to increase revenue, while Redbridge Council reviews its schedule and streamlines CIL relief.
Croydon Council's Cabinet approved proposed changes to its Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging schedule in September 2026, which are now recommended for adoption by Full Council. The revised schedule aims to generate increased revenue for infrastructure development, updating rates as the current schedule from 2013 is considered outdated. This follows a review by the Scrutiny Streets and Environment Sub-Committee in September 2026.
Redbridge Council decided in October 2025 to review its CIL charging schedule, aiming to stimulate development and remove barriers for essential health and education uses. A draft schedule was to be published for a six-week public consultation. The council also approved streamlining CIL relief decisions, delegating authority for amounts over £250,000 to the Executive Director of Place, Communities and Enterprise.
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging schedule sets out charges on new developments to fund local infrastructure improvements. Councils periodically review these schedules to ensure they reflect current economic conditions and support growth, with Redbridge's policy first implemented in 2012 and Croydon's in 2013.
