The next round of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) applications opens on 1 January 2024, and community groups will have until 1 February to apply.
CIL funding is drawn from a levy on development in King's Lynn and West Norfolk and can be used for a variety of projects that improve community assets.
The minimum sum that can be applied for is £2,000. There is no upper limit as such but funding will be based on the amount available to be allocated.
CIL funding can be used in the following areas:
Green Infrastructure Projects
- Projects relating to public open spaces, such as new or improved footpaths and cycleways, to support new development
- Installation and improvement of public play areas and equipment
- Open spaces used for education, to support environmental initiatives
- Improvement of habitats for wildlife and nature, to alleviate the effects of new development
- Environmental services such as flood defence or absorption of air pollution
Leisure Time Activities Infrastructure
- Infrastructure projects that support accessible leisure time activities, such as new facilities, improvement or upgrade of existing facilities to enable an increase of usage, to support new development of an area
