Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council published its CIL draft charging schedule for consultation between 7 November 2014 and 19 December 2014. The Council had expect that their charging schedule would be examined in early 2015, however they later decided to publish a revised draft charging schedule for consultation in August and September 2016.
The draft charging schedule has reduced the residential rates and introduced a new residential zone with a nil rate. The draft charging schedule simplified the retail rates into two rates for different types of retail. The draft charging schedule has reduced the rate for budget hotels from £55 to £35 per m2.
