Christchurch Borough and East Dorset District Councils submitted their Joint CIL draft charging schedule along with a Statement of Modifications for examination.The Statement of Modifications reduces the charge for residential developments from £100 to £70 per m2, and introduced new sites where there will be no charge provided that they also supply suitable alternative natural green space.
The statement of modifications also extended the £40 per m2 charge for care homes to also include extra care housing and housing for vulnerable people. Other changes were made to update the charging schedule and reflect its curent status.
