Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)

In May 2024, the Parish Council received £7074.31 of CIL money from East Devon District (EDDC) and in October 2024 received £13813.24.  Cil receipts are recorded in the documentation below.

As a Parish Council with a Neighbourhood Plan, Dunkeswell receives 25% of Cil receipts (uncapped)  from EDDC once the CIL receipts are received by them.  CIL is paid in instalments linked to the commencement of development. Planning permissions can be valid for three years, so it may be a number of years before CIL payments are received. Payments are made to the Parish Council twice a year in April and October.

The Parish Council may determine how it’s CIL receipts are spent; however, any expenditure must meet the following criteria as set out in the CIL regulations.  The Community and Local organisations are welcome to put forward suggestions for consideration.
