Is CIL payable on a self-build conversion?

Good luck! Let us know how you get on.

+1 to a new planning application restarting the appeal clock.

 

If you extend under PD  think it would be worth getting a Certificate of Lawful development that confirms PP is not required.... Specifically to avoid any claim on their part that you have implemented the PP that is liable for £11k CIL.

Boyes Turner’s development & house building team have successfully challenged a decision by a local Authority to charge CIL on a barn conversion which had been undertaken as a self-build project by their clients.

 

You would need to contact them to get details of the case.

 

I note it was "settled" just before it went to court but even so it might be useful.

You are the sovereign of Google!!!!  That is the best news I've had in months.  Thank  you.

And the answer is.......NO!!!!

Exemption agreement came through this morning.  Many many thanks to everyone who has helped.  I'm certain I would have been refused without the research and information given so freely here.  Now to actually build the thing!

What an encouraging thread.

Excellent news, always good when someone gets common sense to prevail and saves themselves a load of money!

Fabulous. Just a pity the local authority was so intransigent when the process was clearly wrong. Now you have to stay on here for the more challenging bit that is the build!

Cracking News..!! 

 

Now we don’t get many conversions so..... how about lots of photos or a blog..??

We are self-building a conversion and did not have to pay the CIL. We had to accept liability and then we claim exemption at the end. Single dwelling self-builders don't pay. That is Cumbria CC

I see I am well behind the curve and this is old. Ah well.
