Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) applications

Elmbridge Borough Council has recently issued guidance which says that applications are expected from not for profit organisation and community groups.

Applications should show wider community benefit for things which will, for example, improve transport, footpaths, open spaces, sporting facilities or public buildings.

The Council are inviting applications from now until 19^th January 2018

Background

Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding comes from a building development charge. There is currently a substantial amount of CIL money available following the ex-Rydens School, and Lidl developments.

Hersham and its organisations need to recognise an opportunity and take the initiative. It’s a rare thing for grants to be available, and it would be a shame if Hersham doesn’t make the most of it.

To help raise awareness our next newsletter will be circulated to relevant organisations in Hersham who might wish to apply.
