The Council launched a consultation on the DCS last week. In addition to the proposed city-wide residential rate, which would also apply to student accommodation uses, the Council has set a draft rate of £75 to apply to retail developments. A nil rate levy would apply to all other types of development if the rates in the DCS are eventually adopted.
The rates in the DCS remain the same as the proposed rates set out in the Council's preliminary draft charging schedule which it consulted on earlier this year.
The consultation is open for responses until 9 December. The Council said it hopes to implement CIL from 1 April 2015.
