The Engagement team at Kingston Council has asked us to share the following information;
We are writing to you to inform you that we have launched a public consultation on our Draft CIL Charging Schedule. The consultation will run from today, 18 September 2026, until 11.59pm on 30 October 2026.
Kingston’s Draft CIL Charging Schedule outlines the proposed changes to the rates that developers must pay when new homes, businesses, or other forms of development are built in the borough, known as the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
The proposed changes to CIL charging rates may be of particular interest to community organisations because CIL funding can help support the infrastructure, facilities, and services that local communities need as the borough grows. Changes to CIL rates can affect the level of funding available to support this infrastructure in the future.
If your organisation delivers, manages or uses community facilities, or has an interest in how development contributes to local infrastructure, you may wish to review the proposed changes and share your views as part of the consultation. We welcome comments on the proposed rates and zones, and/or the evidence used to inform them.
Anyone making a comment (formally known as representation) may also request the right to be heard by the independent examiner during the CIL examination.
