Consultation opens on proposed changes to development levy
Consultation seeks public input on revised Community Infrastructure Levy rates, including new drive-through charges and increased greenfield site fees, to fund growth-supporting infrastructure.
- On Monday, February 2, Worcester City Council, Malvern Hills District and Wychavon District councils launched a month-long consultation until March 2 via www.worcester.gov.uk/voiceit.
- Officials say legal updates and the emerging South Worcestershire Development Plan Review prompted the draft schedule revision, reflecting recent changes and infrastructure needs.
- The update also adjusts charges for drive‑throughs with a new CIL rate, while fees for greenfield sites mostly increase and brownfield site rates remain unchanged due to demolition costs.
- Residents and stakeholders can respond by email to SWDP@worcester.gov.uk or post to Planning Policy, Pershore, with all comments considered at a public examination.
- Officials note the distinction between CIL and Section 106 agreements, which address immediate effects like affordable housing or access junction upgrades.
