Prior to the formation of BCP Council the former Bournemouth Borough Council approved the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule which took effect on 1st March 2016.

On 1 January 2020 the RICS CIL Index, published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, will be used to calculate CIL liability in accordance with Schedule 1 of the CIL (Amendment) Regulations 2019. The table below shows how indexation will affect CIL for developments granted planning permission in the Bournemouth area from 1 January 2024.

You can view our instalment policy, payment in kind policy and discretionary relief statement, effective from 1 September 2022.

In support of CIL charging schedules we used to set out the types of projects that CIL monies and planning obligations would be spend upon, in what were known as the Regulation 123 List. This approach was superseded through the preparation of the Infrastructure Funding Statement, which sets out the CIL and planning obligations and where they are spent. We have reported on the collection and spend since BCP Council formed in 2019, in the Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) 2019-2020, 2020-2021 and 2021-2022.

We are in the process of reviewing the Regulation 123 List to set our future spending priorities.
