The research said that local authorities take an average of 23 months to implement CIL following the publication of a preliminary draft charging schedule and that this rate would leave two-thirds of local authorities behind schedule for the introduction of the charge.
The government has set a deadline of April 2015 for local authorities to bring CIL into force. Once the deadline passes, those authorities without a CIL charge in place will face restrictions on their use of section 106 agreements to gather funds towards infrastructure improvements.
