Housing White Paper To Include Review Of Section 106 Deals

Crest Nicholson chief executive Stephen Stone has revealed the government plans to review section 106 and the community infrastructure levy in the forthcoming housing white paper. The white paper is due to be published in January, with measures included which the government hopes will help it hit its target of building one million homes by 2020. Stone revealed he had dinner last week with communities secretary Sajid Javid and said he believes the Tories are planning to “re-open” section 106 and the community infrastructure levy (CIL). But he criticised the planned measure and said: “It will create chaos again when you want to get planning and want to get building.” Read more on the Building website.
