Applicants who have submitted their CIL application by the above deadline will have a further four weeks to provide any additional documentation to validate their application. Failure to provide the requested details by the second deadline (midnight on Sunday 13 April 2025) will result in the application being invalid and not considered.
For reference, the amount of local CIL funds available at the end of the third quarter of 2024 to 2025 for allocation by each of the Local Spending Board is listed below:

The funding round is normally very competitive, and the figures are listed to give applicants 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 (Quarter 4 of 2024-2025) of funds will be included in the amounts the Local Spending Boards allocate during the June and July meetings.
