Community Infrastructure Levy

EDM number 409 in 2013-14, proposed by John Mann on 15/07/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Construction industry, Housing, Local government and Taxation.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 6 MPs.
