49C.—(1) For the purposes of this regulation, qualifying communal development is the amount of communal development (calculated in accordance with paragraph (4)) which is for the benefit of the occupants of more than one qualifying dwelling.
(2) Subject to paragraph (3), development is communal development if it is development for the benefit of the occupants of more than one qualifying dwelling, whether or not it is also for the benefit of the occupants of relevant development.
(3) Development is not communal development if it is—
(a)wholly or partly made up of one or more dwellings;
(b)wholly or mainly for use by the general public;
(c)wholly or mainly for the benefit of occupants of development which is not relevant development; or
(d)to be used wholly or mainly for commercial purposes.
(4) The gross internal area of any communal development that is qualifying communal development must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
X = the gross internal area of the communal development;
A = the gross internal area of the qualifying dwellings to which the communal development relates; and
B = the gross internal area of the qualifying dwellings and the relevant development, provided that the communal development is for the benefit of those dwellings and that relevant development.
(5) In this regulation, “relevant development” means development which is granted permission by the same planning permission as the qualifying dwellings in question, but which does not include the qualifying dwellings or the communal development.]

50.—(1) The amount of social housing relief for which a chargeable development is eligible (“the qualifying amount”) must be calculated in accordance with this regulation.
(2) The qualifying amount is an amount equal to the aggregate of the qualifying amounts at each of the relevant rates.
(3) The relevant rates are the rates, taken from the relevant charging schedules, at which, but for social housing relief, CIL would be chargeable in respect of the parts of the chargeable development which will comprise—
(a)qualifying dwellings; or
(b)qualifying communal development.
(4) The qualifying amount at a given relevant rate (R) must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
A = the deemed net area chargeable at rate R;
Ip = the index figure for the year in which planning permission was granted; and
Ic = the index figure for the year in which the charging schedule containing rate R took effect.
(5) Paragraph (6) of regulation 40 applies to determine the index figure for a given year.
(6) Paragraphs (7) to (10) of regulation 40 apply for the purpose of calculating A with the following modifications—
(a)for GR, substitute QR, and
(b)for KR, substitute KQR
where—
QR = the gross internal areas of the part of the chargeable development which will comprise the qualifying dwellings or qualifying communal development, and in respect of which, but for social housing relief, CIL would be chargeable at rate R; and
KQR = the aggregate of the gross internal areas of the following—
(i)relevant retained parts of in-use buildings; and
(ii)for other relevant buildings, relevant retained parts where the intended use following completion of the chargeable development is a use that is able to be carried on lawfully and permanently without further planning permission in that part on the day before planning permission first permits the chargeable development.
(7) Where—
(a)social housing relief has been granted in relation to a development; and
(b)planning permission is granted under section 73 of TCPA 1990 in respect of that development; and
(c)the amount of social housing relief calculated in accordance with this regulation that the development is eligible for has not changed as a result of the planning permission referred to in sub-paragraph (b),
anything done in relation to an application for social housing relief made under regulation 51 (social housing relief: procedure) in relation to the development referred to in sub-paragraph (a) is to be treated as if it was done in relation to development that the planning permission referred to in sub-paragraph (b) relates to.
(8) In this regulation—
(a)a reference to part of a chargeable development which will comprise qualifying dwellings includes a reference to part of a chargeable development which comprises qualifying dwellings;
(b)“relevant retained part” means part of a building which will be—
(i)on the relevant land on completion of the chargeable development (excluding new build),
(ii)part of the chargeable development on completion, and
(iii)chargeable at rate R but for social housing relief;
(c)“building”, “in-use building”, “new build”, “relevant building” and “relevant charging schedules” have the same meaning as in regulation 40.]

(3) The material disposal of a qualifying dwelling [F40or qualifying communal development] does not cause it to cease being a qualifying dwelling [F40or qualifying communal development] if—
(a)the proceeds of sale are spent on a qualifying dwelling [F40or qualifying communal development] ;
(b)the proceeds of sale are transferred to the Secretary of State, the Welsh Ministers, a local housing authority [F41, the Greater London Authority] or the Homes and Communities Agency;

[F45(4A) Where—
(a)the relevant person is liable to pay the withdrawn amount; and
(b)the dwelling in respect of which the relevant person is benefitting from social housing relief was (immediately before it ceased to be a qualifying dwelling) a qualifying dwelling which satisfied condition 5 of regulation 49,
for the purposes of regulation 87 (late payment interest), payment of the withdrawn amount is to be treated as being due on commencement of the chargeable development.]
(5) The qualifying amounts mentioned in paragraph (4) must be calculated in accordance with regulation 50 [F46and paragraph 6 of Schedule 1], and for the purposes of that calculation the value of E is the value of E as calculated at the time social housing relief was granted in respect of the chargeable development.
(6) The relevant person must notify the collecting authority in writing of a disqualifying event before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which it occurs.

54A.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (10) and (11), a person (P) is eligible for an exemption from liability to pay CIL in respect of a chargeable development, or part of a chargeable development, if it comprises self-build housing or self-build communal development.
(2) Self-build housing is a dwelling built by P (including where built following a commission by P) and occupied by P as P’s sole or main residence.
(3) The amount of any self-build communal development that P can claim the exemption in relation to is to be determined in accordance with paragraphs (4) to (6).
(4) Subject to paragraph (5), development is self-build communal development if it is for the benefit of the occupants of more than one dwelling that is self-build housing, whether or not it is also for the benefit of the occupants of relevant development.
(5) Development is not self-build communal development if it is—
(a)wholly or partly made up of one or more dwellings;
(b)wholly or mainly for use by the general public;
(c)wholly or mainly for the benefit of occupants of development which is not relevant development; or
(d)to be used wholly or mainly for commercial purposes.
(6) The amount of any self-build communal development that P can claim the exemption in relation to must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
X = the gross internal area of the self-build communal development;
A = the gross internal area of the dwelling in relation to which P is claiming the exemption for self-build housing; and
B = the gross internal area of the self-build housing and relevant development, provided that the self-build communal development is for the benefit of that housing and that relevant development.
(7) In this regulation, “relevant development” means development which is authorised by the same planning permission as the self-build housing in question, but which does not include the self-build housing or the self-build communal development.
(8) In order to claim the exemption in relation to self-build communal development, P must assume liability to pay CIL in respect of that development (and may do so jointly in respect of the chargeable development) and either claim the exemption—
(a)at the same time as P claims the exemption in respect of the self-build housing; or
(b)where the self-build housing is granted permission through a phased planning permission, in relation to any phase of that permission.
(9) An exemption or relief under this regulation is known as an exemption for self-build housing.
(10) An exemption for self-build housing cannot be granted to the extent that the collecting authority is satisfied that to do so would constitute a State aid which is required to be notified to and approved by the European Commission.
(11) Where paragraph (10) applies, the collecting authority must grant relief up to an amount which would not constitute a State aid which is required to be notified to and approved by the European Commission.

[F55(3A) Paragraphs (2)(b) and (3) do not apply where an exemption for self-build housing has been granted in relation to a chargeable development and the provision of self-build housing or self-build communal development changes after the commencement of that development.]
(4) As soon as practicable after receiving a valid claim, and subject to regulation 54A(10), the collecting authority must grant the exemption and notify the claimant in writing of the exemption granted (or the amount of relief granted, as the case may be) [F56and provide an explanation of the requirements of regulation 67(1)].
(5) A claim for an exemption for self-build housing is valid if it complies with the requirements of paragraph (2).
