part of the building, have been in use for a continuous period of at least six months within the period of twelve months ending on the day
planning permission first permits the chargeable development. The local authority may require further evidence of proof of the
continuous use if this is not evident. Clarification as to what constitutes a lawful use is given in the Town and Country Planning Act,
Section 191 (2).
7 d) and e) Mezzanine floors of less than 200 square metres are not liable for CIL, unless they are to be installed as part of a planning
permission which permits other works as well. Where appropriate, the floorspace created by the addition of a mezzanine floor will be
deducted from the net additional gross internal floorspace when the CIL liability is calculated.

housing authority on one of the following tenancy types:
(a) an assured tenancy (excluding an assured shorthold tenancy);

the additional buildings separately.
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:
Once the local authority has received the Assumption of Liability Form and as soon as practicable after the time when the planning
permission is treated as first permitting development the local authority will issue the CIL Liability Notice(s). This will set out the CIL charge
based on an assessment of the floorspace information provided. In making an assessment of CIL Liability the local authority may take
account of other sources of information.
