Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether a breach of the requirement to submit a valid Commencement Notice before development commencement occurred
  • Whether the CIL surcharge has been calculated incorrectly

What decided it

The appellant failed to submit a valid Commencement Notice before commencing development on 15 August 2024, despite the original Liability Notice clearly warning of this requirement, and therefore the surcharge was properly imposed.
