Indexation

CIL payments must be index linked from the year that CIL was introduced to the year that the planning permission has been granted.  We must use the national All-In Tender Price Index published by the Build Cost Information Service (BCIS) of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.  This is set by the legislation CIL is underpinned by.

Charging rates

The table below shows the CIL rates by type of development as of 1st April 2017:

Please note: The above table shows the base rates set at Stroud District Council which are subject to annual indexation. The rate will increase or decrease accordingly each year.

*Because of issues of viability, residential proposals on land within the Stroud Valleys charging zone (brownfield sites within the boundaries of the Industrial Heritage Conservation Area) are exempt. Applications for supermarkets and retail warehouses in this area will still be liable.

To check if your residential development falls within the exemption area, please check on our interactive link (the CIL exemption area is outlined in blue).

The large housing sites allocated in the Local Plan (Policies SA1-SA5a) are also exempt from CIL, because of the costs associated with the provision of on-site infrastructure. This is on the basis that developers are required to meet their own site infrastructure costs and these are as set out in the CIL Viability Study.
