COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY

Early day motion 409, tabled 15 July 2013 by Lord Mann (Labour). Signed by 6 members.

That this House notes that the adoption of the community infrastructure levy will change the way that local authorities in England and Wales charge money on new development; understands that the sum of the charge based on size and type of the new development will vary between local authorities; expresses concern that the levy will advantage larger developers to the detriment of local builders; and calls on the Government to reconsider its approach to self-builders and to consider implementing levies covering local enterprise partnerships to avoid the situation of local authorities competing against each other to attract developments.
