The Council has proposed in its PDCS (6-page – 2.62MB) that the District is divided into three residential CIL Bands with different charges. For CIL Band A, which covers Rickmansworth and Croxley Green, the proposed charge is £180 per square metre. CIL Band B covers Kings Langley, Abbots Langley, Leavesden and Eastbury and is set a proposed rate of £120 per sq m. CIL Band C covers Tolpits and South Oxhey and is subject to a proposed zero rate levy.
Retail, hotel and care home developments will all be charged £120 per sq m under the PDCS and a zero rate levy will apply to all other non-residential developments.
The consultation will run until 15 February. The Council said it aims to adopt CIL by the end of 2013.
