To complete the process of review of historic
Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) cases, by confirming action to
be taken in respect of any remaining cases.
Appendix 1 to this report concludes the findings and recommended
action in respect of each outstanding case.
It is to be noted that this delegated decision is for the
“write off” of one case only with a potential value of
£3286.29. It is considered appropriate to write this sum off
as the property has been completed and applicant was not advised of
CIL liability when submitting the planning application.
The remaining three have been issued with liability notices
totalling £17,113.36 and subject to self-build annex
exemption, therefore no further action is required for these
cases.
