Implementation of the Community Infrastructure Levy
Adoption of the CIL Charging Schedule
City of York Council agreed to adopt the CIL Charging Schedule at a Full Council meeting on 6 November 2025, which sets out the elements which will be covered by CIL.
CIL will be implemented on 1 February 2026. Any eligible development which is granted planning permission on or after this date will be liable to pay CIL.
CIL applies to all relevant applications determined from 1 February 2026, including those successful on appeal, and those where a resolution to grant has been made but a S106 agreement has yet to be finalised, even if they were submitted in advance of this time.
CIL may also apply to Lawful Development Certificates and Permitted Development, depending on certain circumstances.
Information on what this means when you submit a planning application to us can be found on the CIL page.
Detailed guidance on CIL can be found on the Government CIL website.
