Consultation questions

1. Do you support the council proposal to introduce the proposed CIL charging schedule in the north and central areas of Buckinghamshire?
2. Do you agree that, taking account of the supporting evidence, the proposed CIL rates (£/square metre) set out in the draft Charging Schedule strike an appropriate balance between additional investment to support development and the potential effect on the viability of developments?
3. Do you agree with the different CIL rates that are proposed to apply to different zones and different types of development?
4. Do you agree with the proposed exemption from CIL for developments by a predominantly publicly funded or not-for-profit organisation including medical and health services, social care, education, emergency services, waste facilities, community facilities, sport and leisure facilities.
5. Do you agree with the proposal to charge a nil rate of CIL for the development of strategic sites?

About strategic sites

Strategic sites are large sites of 400 homes or more (gross) or 10 hectares or more (gross) that are allocated in the Local Plan, and including any parcel within a large site irrespective of the size of the parcel, and all uses within allocations. These sites would be expected to provide infrastructure directly and through s106 planning obligations.

6. Do you agree with the proposed boundaries of the different CIL charging zones?
7. Do you agree that the viability evidence (set out in the report prepared by Dixon Searle Partnership) provides a suitable evidence base for the introduction of the CIL rates as proposed?
8. Do you agree with the proposed instalments policy?
9. Do you agree that the evidence (set out in the Infrastructure Funding Gap statement) demonstrates a significant funding gap and hence the desirability of introducing CIL?
10. Please provide any further comments you have concerning the proposed introduction of a CIL in North and Central planning areas of Buckinghamshire Council (corresponding to the area of the former Aylesbury Vale district)
