Housing minister Kit Malthouse has announced changes to
developer contributions to make the system simpler and accelerate the pace of
homebuilding. Builders pay through developer contributions (section 106 and
Community Infrastructure Levy [CIL]) for the roads, schools, GP surgeries and
parkland needed to help areas to cope with new residents. But Malthouse said
these measures are “confusing and unnecessarily over-complicated”. The new
rules mean that communities would know exactly how much developers are paying
for infrastructure in their area, he explained. Councils will be required to
report the deals done with developers and set how the money will be spent, so
residents can see every step taken to make sure that their area is ready for
new housing. Read more on the Planning Portal.
