The Government announced last year that it is considering the abolition of the Community Infrastructure Levy, and possibly replacing it (and s106 (Planning) Agreements) with a nationally set Infrastructure Levy. But who knows when, or if, that will come to pass.
So the Community Infrastructure Levy is what we have now and, in this edition of ITL, we take a ‘back to basics’ look at it.
Read our latest issue of ITL to find out more.
While you’re at it, why not enter our IT’S THE LAW quiz?
Our ITL library is bursting with past issues ranging from ‘what to look for when inspecting a site’ through to ‘what collateral warranties are and why we need them’ so why not take a look.
For further information please contact Neil Toner, Partner, Head of Real Estate at Devonshires.
