Community Infrastructure Levy appeals
A liable person can ask the levy collecting authority for a review of the chargeable amount within 28 days from the date on which the liability notice (that sets out the chargeable amount) was issued.
The collecting authority is required to review the calculation. This review must be carried out by someone who is senior to the person who made the original calculation, and who had no involvement in that original calculation.
A decision must be issued within 14 days, and this decision cannot be reviewed again (see regulation 113). Following this review, the liable person may submit an appeal to the Valuation Office Agency.
You might also want to appeal if you believe that we incorrectly:
- apportioned liability between landowners
- determined charitable relief
- determined that the residential annexe was not wholly within the grounds of the main dwelling
- determined the value of exemption allowed for self-build
- applied surcharges
- deemed the development to have commenced when it did not
- issued a stop notice for non-payment

CIL review (2017)
The Council completed a review of its Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) in 2017. The process involved consultation on our charges, an independent examination and approval at full Council. We then adopted our current charging schedule from 1 January 2018.
