Exceptions and relief from CIL liability
The regulations provide for a number of types of development that are exempted from payment of CIL. In addition, there are some circumstances where you can claim relief from the payment of CIL.
You can check if you're eligible for relief or an exemption from CIL on the Planning Portal.
You may be eligible for exemption under the following:
- minor development exemption
- self-build exemption (for a whole house)
- exemption for residential annexes or extensions.
Even if you consider that your development, or part of it, is eligible for exemption or relief from CIL, you will need to submit the appropriate forms within the required timeframe. If you don't you will pay the full CIL amount plus a surcharge, even if your development qualifies for exemption.
