for the second and subsequent phases of a phased planning permission, the value Ex (as determined under paragraph (8)), unless Ex is negative,

provided that no part of any building may be taken into account under both of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.

(8) The value Ex must be calculated by applying the following formula—

Phassing and demolition

where—

EP = the value of E for the previously commenced phase of the planning permission;

GP = the value of G for the previously commenced phase of the planning permission; and

KPR = the total of the values of KR for the previously commenced phase of the planning permission.

Social housing relief: qualifying communal developmentE+W

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.

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—

Phassing and demolition

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.

(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

(2) On such an application being made the court must (in the debtor’s presence) inquire as to the debtor’s means and inquire whether the failure to pay the debt which led to the liability order being made against the debtor was due to the debtor’s wilful refusal or culpable neglect.

the period of imprisonment ordered under the warrant must be the term fixed under paragraph (3) reduced by such numbers of days as bears to the total number of days in that term less one day the same proportion as the part paid bears to that amount.

(10) Where, after the issue of a warrant, a part payment of the amount stated in it is made, the period of imprisonment must be reduced by such number of days as bears to the total number of days in the term of imprisonment specified in the warrant less one day the same proportion as the part paid bears to the amount so stated.

(a)any fraction of a day must be left out of account; and

(b)rule 55(1), (2) and (3) of the Magistrates’ Courts Rules 1981(35) (payment after imprisonment imposed) applies (so far as is relevant) to a part payment as if the imprisonment concerned were imposed for want of sufficient distress to satisfy a sum adjudged to be paid by a magistrates’ court.
