What is liable for CIL?

Within Shropshire, CIL applies to all development that involves:

  • The formation of one or more new dwellings, (including holiday lets and residential annexes), either through conversion or new build, regardless of size (unless it is ‘affordable housing’)*
    or
  • The establishment of new residential floorspace (including extensions and replacements) of 100sqm or above.

The 100sqm threshold relates to residential extensions only. New dwellings (including holiday lets and residential annexes) are liable regardless of their size.

* The Council’s definition of “affordable housing” is contained in Appendix G of the Type and Affordability of Housing Supplementary Planning Document (March 2011).
