Government will consult on detailed proposals for changes to the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) regime. Proposals will include removing restrictions on Section 106 pooling towards a single piece of infrastructure under some circumstances; speeding up the process of setting and revising CIL; allowing authorities to set rates which better reflect the uplift in land values between a proposed and existing use; changing indexation of CIL rates to house price inflation, rather than build costs; and allowing combined authorities and planning joint committees with statutory plan-making functions to levy a strategic infrastructure tariff.
