Marco Longhi:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government,
what plans the Government has to strengthen the rights of local communities on
section 106 agreements.
Christopher
Pincher: The Government has introduced a requirement for all local
authorities that receive developer contributions, including from section 106
agreements, to publish an annual Infrastructure Funding Statement. The
statements, which must first be published by 31 December 2020 should identify
income and spend on infrastructure and affordable housing and the choices local
authorities have made about how future contributions will be used. This
transparency will help local people to understand what contributions are being
collected towards infrastructure. The neighbourhood allocation of the Community
Infrastructure Levy also enables communities to have a say in how funds should
be used to help support their local area.
