Under the revised DCS (5-page / 1.4 MB PDF), a nil rate has been proposed for all development within 'Zone 1', which includes the strategic urban extensions at Tiverton East, Cullompton North West and Cullompton East.
In 'Zone 2', which covers the remainder of the district: affordable housing development would attract a nil rate levy; the residential development on sites which fall below the threshold for the delivery of affordable housing in the Council's local plan would attract a charge of £100 per sq m; and all other residential development would be charged £40 per sq m in Tiverton, Cullompton and Crediton and £60 per sq m elsewhere.
Convenience-based supermarkets and superstores and retail warehousing outside strategic sites will be charged a rate of £100 per sq m under the proposals. A nil rate is proposed for all other development in the district.
The Council had previously approved a CIL charging schedule for adoption in February 2014, with implementation expected in June 2014. However, the Council's cabinet decided not to adopt the schedule after a viability study found the proposed rates would provide less money towards infrastructure than the continued use of section 106 agreements.
The consultation on the DCS is open until 30 March.
