Housing: Construction
(asked on 3rd March 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the total potential value of section 106 and community infrastructure levy contributions which will be forgone in sales designated under the proposed exemptions policy for starter homes.
This question was answered on 6th March 2015
Further to my Written Ministerial Statement of 2 March 2015, Official Report, Column 42-44WS, we do not anticipate any shortfall, as these are homes which would not otherwise have been built.
Councils will still benefit from the New Homes Bonus and council tax receipts from the new homes.
