Christchurch Borough and East Dorset District Councils have published their Joint CIL revised draft charging schedule for a consultation that took place between 4 December 2015 and 8 January 2016.
The Councils had recieved an Examiner's report on their previous Joint CIL draft charging schedule recommending its adoption on 10 July 2015. However they are reviewing their rates due to the changes in guidance in regard to affordable housing contribution thresholds.
