Community Infrastructure Levy process guide
If CIL applies to your development, there are several things you must do before you start any work. This step-by-step guide will show you how.
Stage 4: Before you start work (commencement notice)
You need to give us a commencement notice before you start work (the latest is one day before you start)
We’ll confirm receipt of the form, update the records and send you a demand notice (ask for payment of the CIL).
