CIL appeals
An appeal can be made where the applicant can demonstrate that:
- we incorrectly calculated the amount of CIL
- we incorrectly apportioned liability between landowners
- we incorrectly determined Charitable Relief
- we incorrectly determined the Residential Annexe exemption
- we incorrectly determined the Self-Build exemption
- we incorrectly applied surcharges
- we deemed the development to have commenced when it did not
- we incorrectly issued a stop notice for non-payment
There are no other grounds for appeal under the CIL regulations.
Appeals must be made before you commence development, and in accordance with any deadlines specific to the particular grounds of challenge. If the development starts before an appeal decision is received, the appeal will lapse.
Appeals should be made either to us, the Valuation Office (VOA) or the Planning Inspectorate (PINS). The table below sets out which body you should apply to.
More details on how to apply to either the VOA or PINS can be found on the Planning Portal.
