Declaration
I confirm that the details given are correct.
I understand:
(1) That my claim for self build exemption will lapse where development commences prior to the Collecting Authority informing
me of its decision
(2a) (if my CIL Liability Notice or revised CIL Liability Notice was issued prior to 1 September 2019)
That my claim for exemption will lapse if I fail to provide the Collecting Authority with a Commencement Notice prior to
commencement of the chargeable development to which this exemption applies; OR
(2b) (if my CIL Liability Notice or revised CIL Liability Notice was issued on or after 1 September 2019)
That a surcharge equal to 20% of the notional chargeable amount or £2,500, whichever is the lower amount, will be payable
if I fail to provide the Collecting Authority with a Commencement Notice prior to commencement of the chargeable
development to which this exemption applies
(4) The meaning of a `disqualifying event' for CIL self build exemption and that where a disqualifying event occurs before or
after commencement of development I must inform the collecting authority within 14 days.
Name - Claimant:
Date (DD/MM/YYYY):
It is an offence for a person to knowingly or recklessly supply information which is false or misleading in a material respect to a collecting
or charging authority in response to a requirement under the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations (2010) as amended (regulation
110, SI 2010/948). A person guilty of an offence under this regulation may face unlimited fines, two years imprisonment, or both.
On receipt of this application the collecting authority will make a decision on your claim as soon as practicable and inform the amount of
CIL relief granted in writing. You must then submit a commencement notice to the collecting authority prior to starting on site.
Failure to do so will either result in the CIL charge becoming payable in full and a surcharge potentially being applied (if your Liability Notice or
revised Liability was issued prior to 1 September 2019), or a surcharge being applied (if your Liability Notice or revised Liability Notice was issued
on or after 1 September 2019).
(3) That I will lose any exemption granted as a result of this application, and be liable for the full CIL charge, if I do not complete
and provide Part 2 of Form 7 (Self Build Exemption Claim Form), along with the requested supporting information, to the
Collecting Authority within six months of the Compliance Certificate being issued.
