Paragraph 8 Transitional cases: pre-CIL phased permissions ‘amended’ when CIL is in effectF1

(1)

Where all the criteria set out in sub-paragraph (2) are satisfied by a chargeable development which is granted planning permission (B) under section 73 of TCPA 1990, paragraph 7 applies for determining the chargeable amount with the modifications set out in sub-paragraph (3).

(2)

The criteria are—

(a)

a pre-CIL phased permission is granted in relation to the development;

(b)

B is later granted in relation to the development and B is an in-CIL phased permission; and

(c)

B changes a condition subject to which a previous phased planning permission (PP) in relation to the development was granted.

(3)

The modifications referred to in sub-paragraph (1) are that paragraph 7 applies as if—

(a)

any reference to the development were a reference to the phase of the development;

(b)

any reference to P were a reference to PP; and

(c)

after sub-paragraph (8) there were inserted—

“(8A)

If the amount calculated under sub-paragraph (3) is negative, a phase credit is created from that phase (“the donating phase”) equal to the difference.

(8B)

Where—

(a)

development under B, in relation to the donating phase, has commenced, and

(b)

a developer has applied to the collecting authority on a form published by the Secretary of State (or a form to substantially the same effect),

all or part of a phase credit is applied to reduce the amount of CIL due (and not already paid) in respect of another phase (“the receiving phase”).

(8C)

Subject to sub-paragraph (8D), a phase credit (or the part of a phase credit) which has been applied in one receiving phase may not be used in any other phase.

(8D)

Where after a phase credit has been applied to a receiving phase an amended phased planning permission is granted and the effect of that permission (before the application of the phase credit to the amended receiving phase) is such that there is no amount of CIL payable, then the phase credit may, at the discretion of the developer (and provided the developer makes a new valid application under sub-paragraph (8B)), be applied in relation to another receiving phase.

(8E)

In sub-paragraphs (8A) to (8D)—

  • “amended phased planning permission” means a phased planning permission granted under section 73 of TCPA 1990 in relation to the development which is or forms part of a receiving phase;

  • “developer” means a person who—

    1. (a)

      has assumed liability to pay CIL in respect of both the donating phase and the receiving phase; or

    2. (b)

      has assumed liability to pay CIL in respect of only the receiving phase and has the written agreement, for the phase credit to be applied to the receiving phase, from the person who has assumed liability to pay CIL in respect of the donating phase.”.
