Thurston
A proportion of CIL payments collected by Mid Suffolk District Council are passed on to the Parish or Town Council in which development is taking place.
The Parish Council has a duty to spend CIL income on:
• providing, improving, replacing, operating or maintaining infrastructure that supports the development of the parish council area
or
• anything else concerned with addressing the demands that development places on the area.
Providing CIL is spent in accordance with the above CIL monies may be used to provide seed or match funding with other income streams and / or may be spent collaboratively with other parish councils, community interest companies or other providers to make the most efficient use of funding to benefit the community.
Any CIL monies due to the Parish Council are confirmed by Mid Suffolk District Council at six monthly intervals in March and September with funds being paid to Thurston Parish Council in April and October.
Please read the Thurston Parish Council CIL funding application form guidance notes before completing this form. To discuss a potential project, or for further guidance, please contact the Parish Clerk at clerk@thurstonparishcouncil.gov.uk on 01359 232854.
Please note that if an external organisation has been granted CIL funds for a project it may not apply for further CIL funding, regardless of the project, until twelve months have elapsed since the previous award was granted.
