Data protection and CIL
We publish some Community Infrastructure Levy documents online as part of the planning record.
This page explains what we publish, why we publish it, and how you can view the latest documents.
How we use personal information
We have published a S106 planning obligations and Community Infrastructure Levy privacy notice. This explains how we collect, use and share personal and confidential information.
We do this in line with the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
In some circumstances, you may need to give personal information to the Community Infrastructure Levy charging authority. We may also need to share this information with:
- relevant parties with a material interest
- anyone acting on your behalf
Why we publish Community Infrastructure Levy documents
The Law Society introduced Community Infrastructure Levy questions to CON29 land charges search requests under question 3.10.
Following this, we decided to make key Community Infrastructure Levy documents part of the public record. We publish these documents under the relevant planning application reference.
We may publish the following documents and related information:
- Community Infrastructure Levy assumption of liability form
- withdrawal of liability form
- Community Infrastructure Levy transfer of assumed liability form
- claiming exemption or relief form, covering charitable relief, social housing relief and exceptional circumstances relief
- Community Infrastructure Levy notice of chargeable development
- Community Infrastructure Levy commencement notices
- Community Infrastructure Levy self-build exemption forms, parts one and two
- Community Infrastructure Levy self-build residential annex exemption claim forms
- Community Infrastructure Levy self-build residential extension claim form
- Community Infrastructure Levy liability notice
- Community Infrastructure Levy demand notice
- Community Infrastructure Levy confirmation of payment or discharge letter
We may also publish:
- supporting documents sent with these forms
- our responses to these documents
- Community Infrastructure Levy documents produced by us
If a liability notice or demand notice has been replaced, only the most up-to-date version will appear.
How to view published Community Infrastructure Levy documents
You can view published Community Infrastructure Levy documents on the Public Access planning website.
Search using the relevant planning application reference number. You can find this reference in a land charges search.
After you open the planning application, select the Documents tab. The published Community Infrastructure Levy documents should be listed on one of the document pages.
Downloading documents
You can download and save Community Infrastructure Levy documents from the Public Access planning website.
This is the only place where you can find the most up-to-date Community Infrastructure Levy documents.
Some documents can be replaced by newer versions. Where appropriate, we will remove older documents from the website.
Community Infrastructure Levy information in land charges searches
A land charges search response should include basic information about any Community Infrastructure Levy liability registered as a land charge.
If you need more information about Community Infrastructure Levy linked to a piece of land, you can pay for the extra CON29 question 3.10 search.
This search provides information about previous and current Community Infrastructure Levy liability, even if the liability has been discharged.
What a £0 liability means
A £0 liability does not always mean that no Community Infrastructure Levy may become payable.
In some cases, the liability may be reduced to £0 because a valid relief or exemption claim is in place.
In most cases, there is a clawback period. If a disqualifying event happens during that period, we may later demand payment of Community Infrastructure Levy.
