Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL)
NCIL Bidding Round 2022
The Annual NCIL Bidding Round 2022 is open between 24 May to 5 July inviting projects to be put forward for NCIL funding. Please submit your project funding application forms by the closing time of 11:59pm on 5 July 2022.
What is NCIL?
A portion of the Community Infrastructure Levy is to be spent on local priorities; this is called Neighbourhood CIL (NCIL). There is currently about £2.3 million of Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy (NCIL) funds. This is a fund the Council collects from developments and is required to be spent in consultation with local communities. Residents’ views were sought on community priorities to guide the allocation of NCIL funds between February and March 2020. The consultation responses have established community priorities to guide the allocation of NCIL funds. These were adopted by the Council as part of the NCIL Community Priorities document in June 2020.
NCIL community priorities
The consultation established the following priorities for the next two years:
- Air Quality
- Policing resources and Emergency Services
- Parks and Open Spaces
- Streetscape
- Community Safety
NCIL Funding Allocations
The second Call for NCIL Projects took place between 25 February to 8 April 2021 inviting projects to be put forward for NCIL funding. Ward councillors considered all applications and the NCIL Allocation Decisions, which can be found at Appendix 1 of the NCIL Executive Decision Report, were confirmed by Executive Decision on 2 August 2021.
