Introduction

This joint letter conveys the unified concerns of diverse stakeholders representing communities across England regarding the proposed Infrastructure Levy (IL) outlined in recent technical consultations by your department. While acknowledging the shared goal of facilitating affordable housing and essential infrastructure, we advocate for a reconsideration of the current proposals due to potential negative consequences on community development and housing affordability.

Challenges 

The letter underscores concerns that the proposed Infrastructure Levy (IL) could diminish the delivery of affordable housing and hinder the development of mixed and balanced communities compared to the current Section 106 (S106) and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) mechanisms. It raises apprehensions about increased complexity in IL charging schedules and potential conflicts with local planning frameworks.
