We are expecting the next local CIL round to open early 2026.
The amount of local CIL funding available for 2026 will be published in January 2026 for each of the Local Spending Boards and will include the first three quarters of 2025-26.
These figures will give an indication of the amount of funding available to be awarded to project in the current round at the time of the round opening. Another quarter of funding (Quarter 4 of 2025-26) will be added in April 2026 to the amounts available for allocation to projects by the Local Spending Boards at their June and July meetings.
Please note that the amount of CIL funding for each area is determined by the level of development of that area.
The 2026 application form and 2026 CIL guidance notes will be published closer to the next local CIL opening date, and the following documents are provided for guidance purposes only:
- 2025 CIL Local Funding Application Form - Guidance Notes for Applicants (DOCX, 684KB)
