CIL is Good News - Why? Generates significantly more funding than Section 106; Set at a level that ensures it is affordable / viable. Fairer, faster and more transparent than Section 106; Gives the Council and local communities more freedom to set infrastructure priorities that are justified; Predictable funding stream making infrastructure delivery more efficient; Gives developers certainty and quicker planning decisions; Rewards communities for new development through the Neighbourhood Portion; Supported and promoted by Government. Focus on strategic infrastructure priorities for the city; Focus on delivering new homes and businesses in the priority locations set out in the local plan.
