Amendments have been made to the 2010 Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Regulation that require the Unitary Authority to pass a proportion of CIL receipts collected from developments in their areas, directly to parish and town councils to be spent on infrastructure or anything else that is concerned with addressing the demands that development places on an area.

West Northamptonshire Council will pass accumulated funds to the parish every 6 months, and the parish council will be required to report on receipts and expenditure each year.

The charging authorities (the Unitary Authority) have to pass on a proportion of CIL receipts to parish and town councils from developments that take place in their area. The Unitary Authority is required to pass 15% of CIL receipts to relevant Parish and Town Councils arising from developments in their areas. This rises to 25% in areas with an adopted Neighbourhood Development Plan.

Please see the reports below which outline the CIL payments Moulton Parish Council have received from West Northamptonshire Council (and formerly Daventry District Council) for the last few years.
