Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether surcharges for failure to assume liability, failure to submit a commencement notice, and late payment were correctly imposed
What decided it
The correct deemed commencement date under CIL Regulations 7(5) for retrospective planning permission granted under section 73A is the date permission was granted, not the date material operations commenced, which fundamentally altered the CIL liability calculation.
