Strategic CIL Bidding Round 2026
From 22 April 2026 to 17 June 2026 stakeholders involved in the delivery of infrastructure to meet the needs of growth across the Borough are invited to submit applications for Strategic CIL Funding.
Applications must be received no later than 11.59pm on Wednesday 17 June 2026, for a validation check and preliminary assessment against funding criteria to be carried out by officers. Applications will then be assessed by the Developer Contributions Advisory Group, comprising local councillors and the Corporate Leadership Team, in July 2026. A draft CIL Funding Programme of recommended projects will then be subject to public consultation.
The following Strategic CIL Funding Guidance Notes provide more detailed information about the purpose of CIL to support new development; the CIL funding criteria against which applications will be assessed; and timescales. It is strongly recommended that this guidance is used to assist in identifying suitable projects and preparing application forms.
Applications should be submitted to IDCTeam@runnymede.gov.uk
