Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
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. It came into force on 6 April 2010 through the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010. Development may be liable for a charge under the CIL if your local planning authority has chosen to set a charge in its area.
Most new development which creates net additional floor space of 100 square metres or more, or creates a new dwelling, is potentially liable for the levy.
A Parish Council automatically receives 15% of all CIL levies and those with a Neighbourhood Plan receive 25%. The Parish Council have a duty to spend CIL income on providing, improving, replacing, operating or maintaining infrastructure that supports the development of the Parish Council area or anything else concerned with addressing the demands that development places on the area
Detailed CIL guidance is available from the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government on the Gov.uk website.
Three Year Plans
This is a rolling Three Year Plan, updated annually.
It is the role of Winkfield Parish Council (WPC) to provide a safe and sustainable environment for all of its parishioners. In order to implement strategies to meet this objective it is necessary to identify key parameters.
Crime and Disorder, including anti-social behaviour, is the subject of robust policies being implemented by BFC in partnership with the Thames Valley Police (TVP) and the Parish and Town Councils. The BFC Partnership can point to a considerable reduction in crime within the Borough. WPC will continue to input data to the Crime and Disorder Information Service (CADIS) managed by BFC.
