Chapter 4: Grant and Implementation of Planning Permission Section 107: Street votes: community infrastructure levy Background
This section amends the community infrastructure levy (CIL) provisions in the Planning Act 2008 to facilitate the levying of CIL on development consented through street vote development orders ("street vote development") by:
allowing CIL regulations to provide for the procedure – which may be an expedited procedure – applicable where a CIL charging authority proposes to introduce or revise CIL rates applicable (only) to street vote development, subject to a power for the Secretary of State to direct a review if they consider that the rates set via that procedure significantly impair, or risk significantly impairing, the viability of street vote development; and
expressly providing that CIL regulations may allow CIL received in respect of street vote development to be spent on affordable housing.
