These exemptions include:

Developments where the gross internal area of new build2 on the relevant land will be less than 100 square metres except where the development will comprise one or more dwellings;

Buildings into which people do not normally go, or go into only intermittently for the purpose of inspecting or maintaining fixed plant or machinery;

Development where the owner of a material interest in the relevant land is a charitable institution3 and the development will be used wholly (or mainly) for charitable purposes.

4.2 In addition, the Regulations also allow exemptions to be claimed for self-

build housing, and residential annexes and extensions over 100 square metres (regulation 42A and 42B). Affordable housing will be eligible for relief from CIL (regulation 49).
