On receipt of the Assumption of Liability Notice the Council will issue a Liability Notice. This says how much CIL is payable and when. In the majority of cases you will be required to pay on commencement of development. Where no one has assumed liability to pay and the Council is aware that the development has started, the liability will default to the owner (s) of any material interest in the land. Where it is one person, they are responsible for payments. Where it is more than one person, the Council will apportion liability.
On receipt of the Commencement Notice a Demand Notice will be issued for the CIL payment, setting out the payment due dates in line with the payment procedure.
On commencement of development you should follow the correct payment procedure. The Council will issue a receipt for each payment received.
