Next Steps
Should your application be liable for CIL and be granted planning permission most local planning authorities will include an informative
to this effect on the decision notice.
If your application is CIL liable, it is important that you ensure that the requirements of the CIL Regulations are met to ensure that you
avoid any unnecessary surcharges and that any relevant relief or exemption is applied.
As soon as possible after receiving planning permission for a CIL liable development you or the relevant parties need to complete a
Form 1: Assumption of Liability form.
If you intend to claim either social housing relief, charitable exemption or where provided by the relevant local planning authority
discretionary charitable relief or exceptional circumstances relief you need to complete a Form 2: Claiming Exemption or Relief form.
To find out more about relief and download the relevant forms please refer to the Planning Portal:
