About the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

Environmental Information Regulations  

The 2004 Environmental Information Regulations provide the statutory right to access environmental information and information regarding to decisions, policies and activities affecting the environment that is held by public authorities.

CON29

The CON29 complements the Local Land Charge Register to allow prospective purchasers access information regarding to the property being searched. It provides information on items in existence as well as items that are in the pipeline and/or awaiting approval. Without CON29, these issues might go unnoticed and have a material effect on the future use, development and enjoyment as well as laying a financial burden on the property.

CON29 and the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

CON29 Section 3.10 concerns the availability of information regarding the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Land Charges.

The CIL was introduced by the 2010 Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations and is used by local authorities to generate revenue from development for the purposes of funding community infrastructure such as energy and transport facilities and enhanced access to public green spaces. The Mayor of London’s CIL (Mayoral CIL) is additionally collected by Kingston Council and is used to fund city-wide strategic infrastructure projects, predominantly Crossrail.
