CIL is a levy that allows the Council to raise funds from developers in recognition of the fact that new development creates pressure on the borough’s infrastructure. In Epsom and Ewell, the Council has decided to allocate these funds across the whole Borough, having regard to where development has taken place or is planned to take place.
Our annual funding round for the 2026 Neighbourhood CIL was undertaken between Monday 9 March 2026 and Sunday 17 May 2026.
The Council's CIL Spending Protocol (March 2025), sets out the Epsom and Ewell Borough specific protocol governing the process and criteria for selecting infrastructure projects for funding through CIL. The protocol allows for Interim Neighbourhood CIL bids be submitted outside of the annual funding round (paragraphs 5.28-5.29). The Neighbourhood CIL funding application form can be accessed at the bottom of this page.
