Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appellant company is liable to pay Community Infrastructure Levy surcharges for failure to assume liability, failure to submit a commencement notice, and late payment, where development commenced before retrospective planning permission was granted
What decided it
Development commenced before retrospective planning permission was granted, meaning the appellant company's own actions created the breach of CIL Regulations requirements to assume liability and submit a commencement notice before development commenced, and liability for late payment surcharges arose immediately upon the grant of permission.
