Exemptions for residential annexes and extensions

Annex and extension relief

Residential extensions

Broadland District and South Norfolk Councils do not charge CIL on any householder extension regardless of size; this follows a decision made at cabinet level.

No CIL paperwork is therefore required for a residential extension.

Annex extensions

Annex relief is available to people who build a residential annexe within the grounds of their own home.

You must apply for annex relief prior to the commencement of the development.

The chargeable amount (the levy that would have been payable if the exemption had not been granted) will be registered as a ‘local land charge’ and will remain in place for three years from the Compliance Certificate date.

Annex exemptions can be withdrawn if a disqualifying event occurs and the CIL will become payable in full and may incur a surcharge.
