Part 11: Community Infrastructure Levy

A charging authority may approve a charging schedule only if—

the examiner makes recommendations under section 212A(4) or (5), and
the charging authority has had regard to those recommendations and the examiner's reasons for them.

Accordingly, a charging authority may not approve a charging schedule if, under section 212A(2), the examiner recommends rejection.

If the examiner makes recommendations under section 212A(4), the charging authority may approve the charging schedule only if it does so with modifications that are sufficient and necessary to remedy the non-compliance specified under section 212A(4)(a) (although those modifications need not be the ones recommended under section 212A(4)(b)).

If a charging authority approves a charging schedule, it may do so with all or none, or some one or more, of the modifications (if any) recommended under section 212A(6) or (7).

The modifications with which a charging schedule may be approved include only—

modifications required by subsection (1B), and
modifications allowed by subsection (1C).

A charging authority (other than the Mayor of London) must approve a charging schedule—

at a meeting of the authority, and

Subsection (3B) applies if—

the examiner makes recommendations under section 212A(4), and
the charging schedule is approved by the charging authority.

The charging authority must publish a report setting out how the charging schedule as approved remedies the non-compliance specified under section 212A(4)(a).

CIL regulations may make provision about the form or contents of a report under subsection (3B).
