Councillors agreed the changes to CIL during a meeting at Hendon Town Hall Barnet Council aims to bring in more money from development schemes and spend it on bigger projects. A planned shake-up of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) – funding the council receives from developers to pay for roads, schools and other infrastructure – would see it rise from £135 to £300 per square metre for housing schemes. The CIL funding given to councillors to spend on projects is set to jump from £450,000 to £1.2 million per year, and a limit on the amount spent per scheme will be removed.
