Rye Town Council is making a Neighbourhood Plan (NP) to allow the
community to influence growth. As a result the community looks forward to
the right to receive and spend a proportion of Community Infrastructure
Levy funds on local projects.

Rye Town Council agrees with the principle of CIL, but underscores the
need to fix it at a rate which does not have adverse impacts on
developments.

Rye Town Council considers that the Schedule should give greater
prominence to the distribution of CIL receipts to parish/town councils -
setting out the two qualifying percentage rates [amended 2013 CIL
Regulations]. Further, it recommends that there is specific reference to
Neighbourhood Planning in the schedule, as the ability to secure local
income from CIL is one of the clearly stated advantages of making a plan.
