What LURA 2023 changed
LURA 2023 [Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023] introduced enabling provisions for a new Infrastructure Levy, a national planning policy rebalancing, a digital planning agenda and a stronger compulsory purchase regime. The S106 regime is not repealed; the IL is intended to replace CIL and parts of S106 over a long transition.
Infrastructure Levy pilot scope
Pilot authorities were selected to test the IL mechanic. None of the 10 supported LPAs on this site are currently in the pilot cohort, so the estimator applies the established CIL plus S106 regime.
Position on CIL during transition
CIL continues in force in all charging authorities. The IL pilot does not retro-apply to non-pilot LPAs. Charging schedules continue to be reviewed on the established cycle.
Sections in force versus reserved
Several LURA provisions came into force on commencement; others are reserved and brought into force by SI on a rolling basis. The Infrastructure Levy core provisions remain reserved pending the pilot evaluation.
