Mike Amesbury:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government,
what plans he has to bring forward legislative proposals to increase developer
contributions to affordable housing.
Christopher
Pincher: We intend to reform the current approach to developer
contributions by creating a new, single system, the Infrastructure Levy. This
new Levy would be a flat rate, value based charge, set nationally, at either a
single rate, or at area specific rates, and charged on the final value of a
development. The new Levy would be able to fund both affordable housing and
supporting infrastructure. Our proposals are set out in our White Paper
‘Planning for the Future’ which was published on 6 August and is out to
consultation until 29 October.
