Housing developers have expressed concerns about the imminent implementation of the CIL, saying it could actually end up making land more expensive.

The (CIL) was proposed in 2008 by the previous government and legislated for by the coalition in their first weeks in power in 2010.

The funds are to be provided by house developers who pay a tax - the community infrastructure levy (CIL) - when they are given planning permission.

Not all councils will charge the CIL, but the government expects that they will all move towards it otherwise they will not be asking developers to help them meet the expense of an increase in infrastructure costs in any given area.

In order to assuage local communities opposing developments, the government is announcing that local communities who get involved in neighbourhood plans - and whose community puts them to a vote - will be given 25% of the CIL to spend on infrastructure of their choosing.
