Newark & Sherwood Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
Determining whether a Development may be CIL Liable
Your development may be liable for a charge under the Community Infrastructure Levy if it involves
new build floor area. If your scheme is liable, this charge is payable after development begins. Details
of the Newark & Sherwood Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule may be found here:
www.newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk/cil/
Your answers to the questions on this form will enable the Council to establish whether or not your
development is liable for a charge, and if so to calculate it accurately from the floor areas you
provide. Misleading or inaccurate answers may result in a CIL charge that is higher than it needs to
be and in some cases additional surcharges may be imposed. Further information regarding the levy
can be found on the Planning Portal web pages:

What happens next?
Should your application be liable for CIL and granted planning permission a Liability Notice will be issued,
alongside the Planning Decision Notice, setting out the CIL charge based on an assessment of the floorspace
information provided above.
You will then be required to submit a valid Commencement Notice stating the date on which you intend to
commence development. Upon receipt of this the Council will then issue a Demand Notice with precise details
of your payment arrangements, including instalment options, which will be payable from the date upon which
development commences. If a valid Commencement Notice has not been submitted before development
commences, payment will be due in full on the day that the Council believes the development to have
commenced.
