I object to Old Milverton and Blackdown being represented in zone B. They are rural areas and should be represented as such in the CIL Appendix A.
CIL on private development may hinder modernisation of smaller units which require extensive expansion in order to meet modern housing needs: and exemption or discount should be considered - ot CIL levies only where there is an impact on the local infrastructure by the development.
I support the CIL but with the above reservations.
I am concerned that the villages of Old Milverton and Blackdown have been designated zone B areas, which would suggest that they have been considered urban. They are quite clearly not and I would hope that this is not an accidental indication of the council's intentions to pursue unwarranted and ill advised development in this area. In general I support the idea of the CIL and the current proposals. I would be concerned about the possible cost to developers in new build floor space exceeding 100m. Where the development is private and for residential use of the developer, this may hinder the modernisation of some buildings with smaller floor space that are not currently suitable for residential living.
