SUMMARY:Development taxes and levies: their role in our future places
DESCRIPTION:A symposium as part of a joint University of Cambridge / TCPA research policy impact project. \n\n\n\nThis event is free to attend\, please RSVP at the bottom of this page. \n\n\n\nIntroduction \n\n\n\nThe issue of taxes\, levies and tariffs on the development value of land continues to be a hot topic. The government is committed to ambitious levels of house building and growth\, but support from local communities will depend on the provision of adequate supporting infrastructure\, affordable housing and development impact mitigation\, much of which is funded from increased land values. Given the time-consuming nature of planning obligations\, capturing enough value to meet these demanding place-making requirements seems likely to require increased use of non-negotiable\, formula-based and standardised developer contributions.  \n\n\n\nThe existing Community Infrastructure Levy is maturing and now raises an estimated £1.2bn per year. Planning obligations are again being used to impose tariffs or ‘roof taxes’. And although the government has decided to abandon the proposed new Infrastructure Levy\, it is proceeding with a specific Nature Restoration Levy. So\, what comes next?  \n\n\n\nAt the event we will launch a major policy paper that is based on the implications of a year-long University of Cambridge research project which re-assessed the reasons for the repeal of all previous UK development taxes since 1945. The research\, conducted at the University’s Department of Land Economy\, challenges much of the received wisdom about the failure of previous taxes and opens up new directions for policy debate. This event provides the first public opportunity to hear about the research and its striking lessons for policy makers today.  \n\n\n\nDraft Agenda \n\n\n\n2.00pmRegistration – tea and coffee availableCan we capture sufficient land value to meet the government’s housing and growth objectives? 2.30pm  Welcome and introduction from the Chair – Liz Peace 2.35pm  The policy proposals: evolution or revolution? – Hugh Ellis\, TCPA 2.50pm  Initial responses to the proposals from the panel  Tony Mulhall\, Associate Director\, RICS  Gilian Macinnes\, planning consultant  Will Jeffwitz\, National Housing Federation   Followed by questions and discussion 3.35pm Comfort break  Lessons from the resilience of past and current approaches 3.50pm Improving local areas through developer funding – Helen Hodgson\,   National Audit Office  4.05pm The research: do we know what not to do? – Miles Gibson 4.20pm Reflections on what we have learnt – Stephen Aldridge\, MHCLG4.30pm Questions and discussion 4.50pm Final reflections – Miles Gibson and Hugh Ellis 5.00pm  Thank you from the ChairClose of formal proceedings5.00pm-6.30pmRefreshments will then be served in the Council Chamber with a further opportunity to continue discussions in a more informal setting.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis project is funded by the University of Cambridge’s Social Science Impact Fund\, Department of Land Economy and Centre for Science & Policy; by the Town & Country Planning Association; and by the Lady Margaret Paterson Osborn Trust.
