Community Infrastructure Levy - Reporting and Expenditure
Community Infrastructure Levy Income and expenditure
When we receive money raised from Hounslow Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) we allocate:
- 5% for set up and admin costs of CIL
- 15% neighbourhood proportion to spend on local schemes
- 80% on strategic infrastructure
Local neighbourhood funds
The council is required to allocate 15 per cent of CIL funds to projects where the income was generated.
Currently, the local proportion of CIL is administered by the Community Partnerships Unit as part of the Thriving Communities Fund. You can find more information here.
Annual CIL Rate Summary
The Annual CIL Rate Summary sets out the CIL rates (adjusted for inflation) that planning permissions granted from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021 will be liable to pay.
Infrastructure Funding Statement
The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) regulations require all local planning authorities that issue a CIL Liability Notice or enter into Section 106 planning obligations during a reporting year to publish an Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) at least annually. The infrastructure funding statement should, as a minimum, include the information set out in Schedule 2 to the Community Infrastructure Levy regulations 2010 (as inserted by the 2019 regulations).
Hounslow’s IFS presents information about CIL, s106 (including s278) and Carbon Offset Funds - developer contributions. The report illustrates where developer contributions originate, where they were spent and what related benefits were received in borough.
The 2019/20 IFS can be found here.
The 2020/21 IFS can be found here.
The 2021/22 IFS can be found here.
The 2022/23 IFS can be found here.
DLUHC Developer contributions data
In addition to the Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS), the Department of Levelling up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) recommends local authorities publish the raw data that informed the IFS.
In accordance to the guidance on publishing the developer contributions data, the council has prepared three sets of data:
Further information on how to use the data can be found on the DLUHC website here.

Hounslow Future Strategic CIL Expenditure
The Council will regularly up-date its Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP). The IDP seeks to captures all the infrastructure required to support the growth and objectives set out in the Local Plan.
The latest version can be found here. Hounslow Draft Infrastructure Delivery Plan (August 2024)
External partner organisations to the Council can raise an Expression of Interest (EoI) to bid for Strategic CIL allocation to the Council to fund eligible Infrastructure Projects that align with the IDP and Local Plan.
This can be done by emailing: CIL_S106@hounslow.gov.uk
Once received EOI’s will be reviewed and considered alongside CIL infrastructure project expenditure added to the Council’s capital Programme for future funding.
