In a joint letter to Matthew Pennycook, the Minister for Housing and Planning, Leader of Westminster City Council Adam Hug and WPA Chair James Raynor (Chief Executive, Grosvenor Property UK) have recommended greater flexibility on how the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) can be spent so that some of these funds can be allocated to delivering affordable homes in areas of acute need.
In the letter, Adam and James say:
“By updating CIL regulations and improving the process, the Government can provide councils with the tools to foster thriving, sustainable communities and address the housing crisis head-on, while helping to deliver on the nationally important mission to grow the economy.”
