Community Infrastructure Levy

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge on new development to help fund supporting infrastructure across Shropshire. CIL was introduced within the National CIL Regulations, which are available to view at: www.legislation.gov.uk.  Shropshire Council was one of the first authorities to introduce a CIL Charging Schedule. The Schedule came into effect on the 1 January 2012 and applies to all eligible development approved after this date.  More information can be found at:

More information can also be found on the Government website: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/community-infrastructure-levy

Planning Enforcement 

What is planning enforcement?

For planning enforcement enquiries please see:  https://shropshire.gov.uk/planning/submit-a-planning-enforcement-query/

Planning enforcement is the process by which Shropshire Council ensures that development without planning permission is investigated, and new development with planning permission takes place in accordance with the approved plans and conditions.

This service investigates complaints and controls, monitors development on the ground to ensure that it accords with approved plans, and that any agreed changes continue to respect and protect the environment.

Shropshire Council's Planning Enforcement Protocol guidance and planning enforcement FAQs give more information.
