Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL)

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a planning charge, introduced by the Planning Act 2008, as a tool for local authorities in England and Wales to help deliver infrastructure to support the development of their area. 

In line with CIL regulations, 15% of CIL received in unparished areas of the city, which do not have an adopted neighbourhood plan, are retained by the city council for allocation. This is known as NCIL. The Council makes use of around £200k of NCIL generated from this planning charge on:

  • £5k for each ward councillor to allocate to projects that they identify through ongoing engagement with their communities.
  • Grants to voluntary organisations
