CIL applicable?

[Jammy5]

How do I know if CIL is applicable?

 

My new build is in Cumbria under Allerdale County Council (or now Cumberland council).

 

Is there a way to check if this council is using the scheme?

 

Thanks,

 

Jamie

They will serve you a liability notice at some point but you can check on their website.

Defo, best to try and find out from either the council, or there website. You don't want to fall foul of Cil.

Call them it’s that easy. 
then get an exemption form.

I just didn't want to poke the bear if that makes sense.

 

I asked building control and he said it wasn't applicable but I'd like something in writing from them just in case?

Understandable with many things but not CIL. If CIL is applicable then it's applicable and as a self builder you need to take action before construction starts to get your exemption. This forum unfortunately has multiple cases of people not taking action early enough and getting caught with huge bills. Confirm with the council before you start anything, getting this wrong could be the biggest unplanned cost in your project.

Nothing to do with building control, call your planning department and follow up by email for written confirmation

As @Bonner said. My LCC status was seriously unclear and various policies indicated that there was intent to apply it after a certain date (which had passed prior to my planning). 
 

I emailed the council (planning dept.) asking for their fee structure and got a clear and simple answer saying that there was none as they were not yet applying CIL

Thank you will ask the question and report back.

 

Building control said something about 9 homes in a development but I suspect he was off piste and misunderstood
