CIL charging schedule and calculating CIL

The Bradford District Community Infrastructure Levy Charging Schedule (PDF) was formally approved by Full Council on 21 March 2017 and took effect from 1 July 2017. 

CIL Indexation

CIL payments must be index linked from the year that CIL was introduced to the year that the planning permission has been granted.  In line with the Regulation 40, CIL Rates have been index linked using the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) CIL Index. 

For the year 2024 this is an increase of 33.2% on the original CIL rates as published in 2017.

Indexation will be set out on an annual basis in line with the CIL Regulations. All CIL Liability Notices issued by the council from January 2024 onwards will include indexation in the calculation of the chargeable amount.
