Do you need planning permission?

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.  In North Tyneside it was adopted by Full Council on the 22nd November 2018.  The charges will be implemented across North Tyneside's charging areas from 14th January 2019.

• 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.  More information can be found by visiting the Planning Portal.
• Please note that whilst you may not require planning permission that your development could still be liable to pay CIL.

If you consider that your development is liable to pay CIL, you should complete and submit Form 5 Notice of Chargeable Development. 

Please note that if your development is liable to pay CIL failure to assume liability could result in a fine and/or legal action.
