Community Infrastructure Levy Draft Charging Schedule - Regulation 16
Question 7: Is there a need to provide discretionary relief from the levy to any types of development, and if so, why?
Representation ID: 30948
Received: 09/11/2022
Respondent: Historic England
Vacant or underused heritage assets not only fail to make a full contribution to the Borough’s economy but they also give rise to negative perceptions about an area. This, in turn, can detract from its attractiveness to visitors and inward investment. Consequently, in setting thresholds there needs to be a clear understanding of the potential impact which CIL could have on investment in, and regeneration of, historic areas - particularly those which have been identified as being ‘at risk’. We are therefore encouraging local authorities to assert their right to apply discretionary relief for exceptional circumstances; where development which affects heritage assets and their settings and/or their significance, may become unviable if it was subject to CIL, or where CIL relief would enable the restoration of heritage assets as identified on Historic England’s ‘Heritage at Risk Register’.
