I have a client who recently had a CLEUD approved for the erection of a new dwelling which was built without permission around 5 years ago - the Council's CIL team are now chasing for CIL payment. My understanding is the the development is not CIL liable, as it is not an application for new build development, rather it is a certificate of lawfulness for existing development.
Has anyone ran into this issue, or do you have any guidance?
Cheers!
