Key Issues
There are trade-offs between the viability of CIL, Section 106 and affordable housing policy
Source: Savills
Local Context Needs to be Considered
Historic delivery
Historic Section106 achievement
Local Plan policy costs
Benchmark land value
Land supply characteristics and profile
Viability Buffer
Local Market Evidence is Needed
Source: Savills
“competitive return”
Policy choices have a cumulative impact on viability
Source: Savills
Local policies must be assessed to establish an appropriate Benchmark
Land Value
Avoiding ‘Double Dipping’
Explicit policy on the balance between Section 106 and CIL
Draft regulation 123 list – what will be excluded from Section 106 funding?
Does the Regulation 123 list support the delivery of the Plan?
The proposed changes to the regulations will tighten the restriction on pooling of Section 106
Flexible to give Charging Authorities scope to change what CIL is spent on
Must be allowed for within the viability appraisals
Risk to Delivery?
Commissioned by the Home Builders Federation
Charging Authorities have seen a 49% fall in the number of new residential planning consents in the 12 months post-CIL
Of the four Authorities where CIL was implemented pre-April 2012, none failed to meet their annual housing target in the year following CIL implementation.
London Mayoral CIL accounted for 94% of CIL Income Receipts in 2013-14
None of the Charging Authorities reporting CIL receipts have spent on infrastructure items on their Regulation 123 Lists

Risk to Delivery?
Grampian Conditions – who will deliver?
Who will pay? When will infrastructure be delivered?
Emerging Trends
CIL – The Countdown to April 2015
Commissioned by the Home Builders Federation
Looks at the impending Section 106 pooling restrictions that limits Local Authorities’ ability to use contributions to fund infrastructure
Highlights that a limited number of Local Authorities will have a CIL in place by April 2015
Seeks further clarification on the operation of Section 106 in Local Authorities without a CIL Charging Schedule post-April 2015
The Deadline: Focusing the minds of Local Authorities
Restriction on the pooling of Section 106 contributions by LPAs for use towards an infrastructure type or project from 6 April 2015 or implementation of a Charging Schedule (whichever the earlier) –
“At that point, no more may be collected in respect of a specific infrastructure project or a type of infrastructure through a Section 106 agreement, if five or more obligations for that project or type of infrastructure have already been entered into since 6 April 2010, and it is a type of infrastructure that is capable of being funded by the levy.”
CIL Regulations 2010 (as amended) & CIL Guidance 2014 (as amended)
Less than 3 months to go
Engagement is still important

Conclusions
Some authorities have set unviable rates
Delivery of affordable housing should be closely monitored
Early adopters may wish to review rates (Fareham)
CIL must strike a balance and support the development Plan
Plan policies should be adjusted where necessary
Seek consistency to avoid unintended market variations across broader areas
What are the implications?
LPAs need to consider the impact of the April 2015 restrictions on the delivery of infrastructure in their area
Developers and housebuilders should work with LPAs to identify key pieces of infrastructure that are needed for the delivery of housing sites
Section 106 agreements should refer to specific named projects
Further guidance from Ministers is essential to ensure that LPAs have a sufficient Section 106 mechanism in place post-April 2015, as failure to do so will have a significant impact on the delivery of both infrastructure and housing.
