10am, Tuesday 10 June,
Wilson Room
The Housing, Communities and Local Government (HCLG) Committee
continues the public evidence sessions for its inquiry on land
value capture, hearing from housing and planning experts,
including representatives from the Royal Town Planning Institute,
National Housing Federation, County Councils Network and Savills.
The cross-party Committee expect to ask questions on possible
reforms to the current system of developer contributions towards
affordable housing and infrastructure. MPs are also likely to
examine the Government's plans to reform compulsory purchase
compensation rules, how increases in land value may be captured
more effectively for public good, and the viability assessment
process.
The Committee is also likely to explore how land value capture
mechanisms could be optimised to operate with the Government's
planning reform agenda, including the delivery of New Towns.
The Committee's inquiry is covering a range of topics, including
potential reforms to the existing section 106 and Community
Infrastructure Levy (CIL) regimes, proposals for new mechanisms
of land value capture, such as a land value tax, and arguments in
favour of the retention of the current system.
