If your planning permission is granted, the Council will issue you with a liability notice specifying the Mayor of London and Barking and Dagenham CIL liability that will be due when the development commences.

If relevant, the person who has assumed liability can apply for relief from payment of CIL. Certain types of development, such as social housing or for charitable purposes, may qualify for relief from CIL. Relief or exemption application must be submitted and approved before commencement of development. Relief cannot normally be granted retrospectively.

For more information, have a look at the development types that are eligible for relief. All reliefs must be applied using the relevant CIL relief form. A decision on eligibility for relief must be received before commencement of a development. Relief cannot be granted once a development has commenced, so applications should therefore be made as early as possible in the process.

Prior to starting works

If a CIL Form 2: Assumption of Liability was submitted at Application Stage, review and amend information as necessary. If a CIL Form 2: Assumption of Liability was not been submitted, it must be submitted before any material work commences.

The person who has assumed liability to pay the CIL must submit a CIL Form 6: Commencement Notice confirming the start date to the Council before any material work commences. 

Failure to submit the required forms within the prescribed timescales may result in surcharges and other consequences under the CIL Regulations.

Upon receipt, the Council will issue you with a CIL Demand Notice setting out payment details.
