Respondent: Mr William Cairns
Any CIL monies arising from developers in a local area should be spent on that local area. An attempt by Solihull Council to retain monies and spend elsewhere is in effect taxing one area to support another. It is effectively compensation for where the damage to the environment has been caused and where the payments can have best effect to offset the negative impacts of those developments. The money must stay in the community where it has been generated.
