Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule and Regulation 123 List

Representation ID: 21703

Received: 25/09/2014

Respondent: Rye Town Council

Representation Summary:

Rye Town Council notes that the draft rate of charge is in the upper part of the band being considered by other Charging Authorities. The level of CIL must be 'appropriate' because of the risk that it might either cause developers to seek to recoup the cost from buyers (thereby inflating house prices) - or deter development by making it non-viable.

Rye Town Council recommends that the rate level is reconsidered at a lower level.
