CIL Forms

The CIL process is form based with the emphasis on the agents or applicants to submit the correct forms at specific triggers throughout the application and development lifetime. Often the form process is still required even if you have been granted exemption and or relief.

All CIL forms are available to download below and should  be submitted to:

CIL Team - Planning Strategy
Stroud District Council
Ebley Mill
Westward Road
Stroud
Gloucestershire

Forms filled out on Planning Portal have an auto fill function which can calculate figures incorrectly.  Always check your form is correct before submitting.

Please note: The forms should be saved to your device (using the 'save as' function) and then completed. If you do not save a version before entering text, the text will not be saved correctly. You can complete the form using the free Adobe Reader desktop software / mobile app or full Adobe Acrobat software. Many internet browsers and other software can be used to view PDF format files, but we cannot guarantee their compatibility or functionality in regard to these forms.
