Submit a commencement notice 

It is vital that a commencement notice is submitted before any work starts on the development.

This must be completed regardless of whether the development qualifies or is exempt from CIL.  

Form 6 Commencement notice

Please note the CIL Regulations provide that where a commencement notice has not been received before work starts on the development, where an exemption has been granted from CIL, the liable person(s) will be issued a surcharge of £2,500 or 20% of the chargeable amount, whichever is the lower amount.  

If a valid commencement notice has not been submitted before work starts on the development we will determine a deemed commencement date. Surcharges will be applied and payments will be due in full on that date.
