(5) Relief under this regulation is referred to in these Regulations as social housing relief.
(6) Social housing relief is given by deducting the qualifying amount from what would otherwise be the amount of liability to CIL that would arise in respect of the chargeable development.
(7) In this regulation—
“assured agricultural occupancy”, “assured shorthold tenancy” and “assured tenancy” have the same meanings as in Part 1 of the Housing Act 1988;
“demoted tenancy” means a tenancy to which section 20B of the Housing Act 1988(8) or section 143A of the Housing Act 1996(9) applies;

(8) For the purposes of this regulation, a dwelling is let on an intermediate rent basis if it is let on an assured shorthold tenancy under which the rent is not more than 80 per cent of the market rent (where the market rent of a lease at any time is the rent which the lease might reasonably be expected to fetch at that time on the open market).
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 at which, but for social housing relief, CIL would be chargeable in respect of the part of the chargeable development which will comprise qualifying dwellings.
(4) The relevant rates must be taken from the charging schedules which are in effect—
(a)at the time planning permission first permits the chargeable development; and
(b)in the area in which the chargeable development is or will be situated.
(5) The qualifying amount at a given relevant rate (R) must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
=
the deemed net area chargeable at rate R;
=
the index figure for the year in which planning permission was granted; and
=
the index figure for the year in which the charging schedule containing rate R took effect.
(6) The value of NR in paragraph (5) must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
=
the gross internal area of the part of the chargeable development which will comprise qualifying dwellings, and in respect of which, but for social housing relief, CIL would be chargeable at rate R;
=
the gross internal area of the part of the chargeable development which will comprise qualifying dwellings; and
=
the deemed net area of the part of the chargeable development which will comprise qualifying dwellings.
(7) The value of N in paragraph (6) must be calculated by applying the following formula—
where—
=
the gross internal area of the part of the chargeable development which will comprise qualifying dwellings;
=
an amount equal to the aggregate of the gross internal areas of all buildings which—
on the day planning permission first permits the chargeable development, are situated on the relevant land and in lawful use, and
are to be demolished before completion of the chargeable development; and
=
the gross internal area of the chargeable development.
(8) The index referred to in paragraph (5) has the same meaning as in regulation 40.
(9) A reference in this regulation to part of a chargeable development which will comprise qualifying dwellings includes a reference to part of a chargeable development which comprises qualifying dwellings.
(10) For the purposes of this regulation, a building is in use if a part of that building has been in use for a continuous period of at least six months within the period of 12 months ending on the day planning permission first permits the chargeable development.
(11) In this regulation “building” has the same meaning as in regulation 40.
51.—(1) A person wishing to benefit from social housing relief must submit a claim in accordance with this regulation.
(2) The claimant must—

(d)be accompanied by—
(i)a relief assessment, and
(ii)evidence that the chargeable development qualifies for social housing relief (by reference to the conditions mentioned in regulation 49).
(4) A claim for social housing relief will lapse where the chargeable development to which the claim relates is commenced before the collecting authority has notified the claimant of its decision on the claim.
(5) As soon as practicable after receiving a valid claim for social housing relief, the collecting authority must notify the claimant in writing of—
(a)its decision on the claim and the reasons for the decision; and
(b)if relief is granted, the qualifying amount.
(6) If social housing relief is granted in respect of the chargeable development the claimant is deemed to benefit from an amount of relief equal to the qualifying amount.
(7) A chargeable development ceases to be eligible for social housing relief if, before that chargeable development is commenced—
(a)a commencement notice is not submitted to the collecting authority;
(b)the claimant’s assumption of liability is withdrawn or otherwise ceases to have effect; or
(c)the claimant transfers liability to another person in accordance with regulation 32.
(8) In this regulation “relief assessment” means an assessment of the extent to which the chargeable development is eligible for social housing relief which—
(a)identifies the qualifying dwellings and the gross internal area of those dwellings; and
(b)includes a calculation of the qualifying amount.
52.—(1) This regulation applies where—
(a)social housing relief has been granted in respect of a chargeable development;
(b)an owner (O) of the relevant land makes a material disposal of land on which qualifying dwellings will be situated to another person (P1); and

(2) P1 is deemed to benefit from an amount of social housing relief equal to the qualifying amount for the qualifying dwellings which will be situated on the land O disposed of to P1.
(3) The qualifying amount mentioned in paragraph (2) must be calculated in accordance with regulation 50, and for the purposes of that calculation—
(a)the value of QR is the gross internal area of the part of the chargeable development—

(ii)in respect of which, but for social housing relief, CIL would be chargeable at rate R; and
(b)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.
(4) The person (P2) who, before O disposed of the land, benefited from social housing relief in respect of the part of the chargeable development situated on that land is deemed to benefit from an amount of relief equal to the residual amount.
(5) The residual amount is the difference between the amount of social housing relief from which P2 benefited before O disposed of the land and the amount from which P1 is deemed to benefit calculated in accordance with paragraph (2).
(6) O must notify the collecting authority in writing of the disposal as soon as practicable after it occurs.
(7) The notification must—
(a)state the gross internal area of the qualifying dwellings which will be situated on the land which has been disposed of;

(9) On receiving the notification the collecting authority must send an acknowledgment of receipt to O, P1 and (if P2 is not O) P2.
53.—(1) This regulation applies whenever a disqualifying event occurs before the end of the clawback period in respect of a chargeable development for which social housing relief has been granted.
(2) A disqualifying event is any change in relation to a qualifying dwelling such that it ceases to be a qualifying dwelling.
(3) The material disposal of a qualifying dwelling does not cause it to cease being a qualifying dwelling if—

(b)the proceeds of sale are transferred to the Secretary of State, the Welsh Ministers, a local housing authority or the Homes and Communities Agency;
(c)the disposal is made to the Welsh Ministers under paragraph 15 or 27 of Schedule 1 to the Housing Act 1996; or

(5) The qualifying amounts mentioned in paragraph (4) must be calculated in accordance with regulation 50, 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.

(b)calculating the qualifying amount in respect of the chargeable development.
(3) An information notice must inform the person on whom it is served of the possible consequences of a failure to comply with the notice(10).
