The CIL documents have been produced by the Greater Norwich Development Partnership (GNDP), which incorporates Broadland District Council, Norwich City Council, South Norfolk Council and Norfolk County Council. They adopt a variable rate CIL based on different zones.
The four councils used a collaborative approach, pooling their resources to share the evidence-gathering and reduce costs. In order to comply with government regulations they have produced three separate charging schedules, with the only difference relating to charging zones for residential values.
For residential values, the charging schedule identifies four key areas for residential development. These areas are then split into 'Zone A' or 'Zone B'.
The report recommends charging £135 - £160 per square metre for 'Zone A' developments and £75 per square metre for 'Zone B' developments. The councils span over different zones with Norwich being entirely in Zone A. Broadland and South Norfolk include areas in both Zone A and Zone B.
The money raised by the CIL will be used to pay for a wide range of additional infrastructure that is required as a result of development. This can include transport schemes, green infrastructure and community facilities.
The charging schedule went out for consultation on 3 October 2011 and it will run until the 14 November 2011.
