The Council proposes in the PDCS (20-page / 1.5MB PDF) to create three different Charging Zones to "reflect clear differences in the viability of development across the District".
Zone 1 covers the South Hampshire urban areas and a number of 'strategic allocations'; Zone 2 covers Winchester Town and Zone 3 Covers the market towns and rural areas. It is proposed that all development within Zone 1 will be subject to a zero rate levy.
For residential developments, the proposed charge within Zone 2 is £120 per square metre, and £80 per sq m within Zone 3. Hotel developments are subject to a proposed rate of £70 per sq m in both Zone 2 and 3.
The proposed rate for convenience and supermarket retail development is £120 per sq m in both Zone 2 and 3 and for all other retail development, a district-wide zero rate levy is proposed.
A proposed zero rate levy will also apply to all other uses.
The consultation will run until 1 February. The Council said it hopes to introduce CIL in the autumn this year.
