Reply from council - A new application would be considered as being a retrospective application as works would have already (at least in part) commenced on the new application sought. In these instances, the CIL amount would be due on the day the permission is granted and no exemption could be considered.

Thanks yes I tried to get them to double check records and they assured me they had a robust post system!

Still working on it, this photo was last year ....

Thanks interesting read. I’m losing hope with my case, CIL is a very tightly run regime with no humanity ?

I posted the form but didn’t get it recorded delivery, so no proof my end. Unfortunately being consumed with the start of the build and looking after a four month old in a caravan I didn’t check they had received it ?

Self build timber frame house and garage in Shropshire. Been a huge learning curve and at times very stressful especially as we’ve had three children (including twins) during our time building!

Community Infrastructure Levy - Self Build I’m interested to hear from anyone in a similar situation... We’ve made an expensive mistake during our self build and not ensured a CIL Commencement Notice was received by our local council. Last week we received a letter explaining that our CIL exemption had been removed and an immediate payment of nearly £12,000 is required. No option to appeal no discussion!!!! Our application was March 2016 so we don’t fall under the new legislation which sets a 20% fine instead of full liability. I’m desperate to find a way out of this but keep hitting a brick wall. Any advice welcome ?
