CIL is a planning charge payable by developers on any new development. The Warminster Town Council policy is that its share of the CIL should be spent on investment in the public realm and public facilities that support the community.
Warminster councillors voted unanimously to award the full amount requested by the cricket club commenting on the diverse opportunities offered by the club, asking them to report back to the Annual Meeting of the council next April about the completion of the refurbishment project.
