Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a levy that local authorities can adopt and apply to new developments in their area. The money generated from CIL is used to support development by funding a wide variety of infrastructure including transport schemes, flood defences, schools, hospitals and other health and social care facilities, parks, green spaces and leisure centres.
CIL is charged on eligible applications and is calculated using the size and type of development that will be created.
Within York, CIL is currently charged on:
- residential dwellings – this includes all forms of self-contained living accommodation (excluding sheltered, retirement and extra care accommodation)
- purpose-built student accommodation (off campus)
There are some types of residential development which are exempt from payment.
