Community Infrastructure Levy Consultation

Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council intends to submit a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Draft Charging Schedule for examination under Section 212 of the Planning Act 2008.

CIL is a charge which can be levied by local authorities on new development in their area. It is an important tool local authorities use to help them deliver the infrastructure needed to support development in their area. The Councils propose adopting CIL to help pay for the strategic transport infrastructure required in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire.

Before submitting a draft charging schedule for examination the Council must make a copy of the draft charging schedule, the relevant evidence and a statement of the representations procedure available for inspection.

The consultation ran between 9am on Monday 16 February 2026 and closed at midnight on Sunday 29 March 2026.
