A good article from Local Democracy Reporter, Bridie Witton on the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL):
Councillors last week approved its new neighbourhood community infrastructure levy scheme, which will see money raised from developers spent on projects chosen by the council and residents.
Lewisham has so far raised £9.28 million from developers using the levy, and so far has been able to spend 15 per cent of it in the ward it was collected.
The approved plans will see this increase to 25 per cent – half of which will stay in the ward, a quarter will be allocated to areas of deprivation and a quarter will go towards a borough-wide fund.
