Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL)
Councils are currently allocating Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy funds to support community projects and infrastructure improvements.
Barnet Council's Cabinet approved an allocation of £750,000 from the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL) for community projects for the 2026/27 financial year in September 2026, with funds split across three Area Committees. This funding supports local infrastructure and community-led initiatives.
Earlier in March 2026, Westminster City Council's Cabinet approved £411,931 in NCIL funding for refurbishment at St John's Wood Primary School. Haringey Council's Cabinet also approved the allocation of Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy funds for Round 2 projects in March 2026, following a consultation. The Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL) is a portion of the Community Infrastructure Levy receipts that local authorities charge on new developments to fund local infrastructure and community projects.
