Make a Community Infrastructure Levy payment

This is the improved Camden website. Tell us what you think.

Steps to making a Community Infrastructure Levy payment

1. Additional information form (PDF) 

Submit this form when an application for planning permission has been made. This is so that we can calculate the amount you need to pay.

2. Assumption of liability form (PDF)

Submit this form to take responsibility for payment. We will then send you a liability notice which gives the payment amount. If we do not receive this form, the owner of land will need to pay the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).

It is possible to withdraw or transfer liability to some else.

3. Commencement notice (PDF)

Submit this to inform us of when development will start. We will then send you a demand notice, which sets out how much needs to be paid and when. If you do not submit this form before your development starts, you may be subject to a surcharge.

4. Payment Procedure

Please quote the payment reference on the demand notice. We will issue a receipt after each payment made. We accept payments by BACS/internet transfer to:

  • Account Number: 24312843 
  • Sort Code: 50-30-03 

It is possible to pay CIL in instalments: Instalments Policy (PDF)

For queries and to submit a form, contact the Community Infrastructure Levy Team.

Camden collects a CIL to fund the infrastructure needed to address the impacts of new development. If you do not pay or give the information we ask for above, the Council can:

  • apply surcharges
  • charge late payment interest
  • recover the funds.

Infrastructure Payments in lieu of collecting a CIL


Camden is willing to accept Infrastructure Payments in lieu of collecting a CIL on a development. This is only where it allows for strategic infrastructure to be delivered on a development site identified in a formally adopted planning framework. Any proposals to accept any payment along these lines will be assessed in accordance with the procedure set out in CIL Regulation 73A.
