Community Infrastructure Levy in Hackney
Residential CIL in Hackney is charged per m² of new gross internal area under the council's charging schedule (effective 2015-04-01). Mayoral CIL 2 Band 2 (£72.73/m²) is charged on top by the Greater London Authority. Extensions under 100 m² that create no new dwelling are not liable (reg 42); owner-occupiers can claim the self-build, annex or extension exemption — but only before work starts.

Source: charging schedule · council CIL page · zone map · verified 2026-09-18. Charging Schedule approved 25 Feb 2015, effective 1 Apr 2015 (still the adopted schedule). Council hosts the schedule, zone map, instalments policy and Reg 123 list as Google Drive links from hackney.gov.uk/hcil. Zone map is Appendix 1 of the schedule and also a separate Drive file. Hackney CIL rates do not apply in the former LLDC/MDC area; from 1 Dec 2024 Hackney took over CIL management from LLDC for that area (LLDC schedule applies there). Other rates: student housing £373 borough-wide, large format retail £150, offices City Fringe £50, hotels City Fringe £80 / rest £55. Instalments allowed under Reg 69B (policy on Drive, not fetched). Schedule says rates indexed via BCIS All-In TPI (now RICS CIL Index); no Annual CIL Rate Summary located, so indexed figures null. Council CIL calculator: https://pfm.exacom.co.uk/hackney/calccil.php
