Recommendation 15

15 Deferred

Publish an interactive map of CIL coverage and charging rates for local authorities.

Recommendation
The Ministry must publish an interactive map of CIL coverage on its website, updated quarterly to include the rates charged in each local authority in England. Publishing a national map would support the housing sector to navigate different charging schedules across local authorities; would enable greater public scrutiny of the variations between local planning 64 authorities; and would allow the Government to demonstrate how any future reforms to CIL are improving coverage and infrastructure outcomes. (Recommendation, Paragraph 80)
