- Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule 2014 - published for consultation in January/February 2014.
- The Draft Charging Schedule 2014 - published for consultation in November/December 2014. This has been withdrawn because it was superseded by the Revised Draft Charging Schedule 2016.
- Revised Draft Charging Schedule 2016 - published for consultation in August/September 2016 following adoption of the Local Plan.
- Statement of Modifications 2017 - published for consultation in May/June 2017.
CIL Examination hearing sessions were held into the proposed CIL rates in September 2017 and January 2018. Information on the examination, including all of the background documents and submissions from participants.
