Bath Neighbourhood CIL
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is payable on new developments, including housing, student accommodation, supermarkets and hotels.
The Neighbourhood Portion CIL can be spent on a wider range of items than the Strategic CIL, provided that these items support the development of the local area.
Bath & North East Somerset Council administers CIL funding in Bath. In North East Somerset, Town and Parish Councils are responsible for allocating the portion of the levy they receive.
To meet the funding criteria for the Bath Neighbourhood CIL Fund, applications must be for capital items and also:
- address impact of new developments from the area of where funding has been generated
- demonstrate impact within a local area where development has taken place
- show community support and provide evidence that the needs of the community have been heard
Please note that we consult with the public on the submitted eligible applications and ask for indication of the level of support from within the community. We also seek advice from the Council's Legal and Planning Policy Teams as well as other relevant Service Areas, when this is appropriate.
Shortlisted applications are then reviewed by a panel of Ward Councillors, with final decisions made by the Leader of the Council.
