Planning Act 2008 Explanatory Notes

Section 214: Charging schedule: effect

349.This section provides that a charging schedule which has been approved may not take effect until it has been published. It also permits charging authorities to determine that a schedule (which has been brought into effect) is to cease to have effect with a regulation-making power to prescribe the circumstances in which a charging authority may exercise this power (subsections (3) and (4).

350.Subsection (5) requires that a decision to cease charging CIL must be taken by a majority of members of a charging authority (other than the Mayor of London) at a meeting of that authority. In the case of the Mayor, such a decision would have to be taken personally (subsection (6)).
