Community Infrastructure Levy (Cil) - Upon granting Planning Permission for the build, West Northants Council have determined that the project is liable to Community Infrastructure Levy, (CIL). This tax is payable on commencement of the build, and in this instance has been calculated to be £113,163. However we understand it is possible to apply for a self-build exemption, the main criteria of which is owner occupation for three years after completion of the build. Hence the collaboration between the developer and successful purchaser to gain this exemption. We recommend that you seek advice and guidance on this matter before commitment to purchase.
