Indexation of CIL rates

The Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) specify that CIL rates are subject to annual indexation using the RICS CIL Index from 2020 onwards. The RICS CIL Index is published annually on the RICS website.

The indexation for 2026 has resulted in a 78.57% increase of the CIL rates charged by Shropshire Council from 2012. This indexation applies to all development which is granted planning permission in 2026. Please see the Annual CIL Rate Summary for further information regarding CIL rates for 2026.

The National Indexation changes for each calendar year can be found below. These changes are from the original CIL rates set by Shropshire Council in 2012 (ie £40 per square metre and £80 per square metre, dependent on location – please refer to Charging Schedule and Zones).
