Most members will apply for the CIL exemption but I was interested to see that scammers are targeting developers and getting them to pay the CIL to them..

 

Planning grants are public documents so scamers can easily find out who is expecting to have to pay the CIL.

"A fraudster will contact the developer, pretending to be from the council, asking for the payment to be made. They provide their own bank account details. Payments as large as £40k have been requested by fraudsters using emails that look genuine. If you are at all unsure, do not proceed with payment, and contact the council."
