CIL (community investment levy)
Discussion
I have full planning consent to extend my home. Work is scheduled to start next spring and we should be `all done` by this time next year. It is not an entirely vanilla build, but that is not relevant to question at hand.
The total extension floor space will be 107 Sq M (so above the 100 Sq M exemption) however to make way for the new 2 story extension a nasty single story one (30 Sq M) is being demolished. Am I right in thinking that I have a reasonable chance of gaining exemption as the net floor space increase is under the threshold at 77 Sq M ?
Our Architect has been rather vague about this, and pretty much refused to file the CIL paperwork with the recently amended planning. The LA `infrastructure team` will not comment and simply advise me to download the forms and fill them in.
With the CIL legislation being fairly new I am told that various Local Authority's are interpreting it in differing ways and that many have fallen foul of various aspects.
If anybody has advise or recent experience of this to ahare, it would be welcome.

Firstly - sorry to be pedantic - but it's Community Infrastructure Levy!

It is implemented on an authority by authority basis so it varies - does their web page have any information on what the thresholds are and how they collect it?
You know what - I'm not sure - I can ask a pal who might know.

Who is your planning authority (if you don't mind me asking?)

I am afraid the extension to be demolished cannot be used to increase the 100m2 allowance, only if it was part of the original build.
DO NOT start the work until you have the relaxation in place otherwise it cannot be granted.
Be warned that the m2 price for CIL isn't just applied to the amount over the 100 m2, its the complete total , some councils are also taking into account the loft area to maximise the area.
