I agree with developers paying towards infrastructures etc. All CIL payments, new homes bonus or the profit on the sale of Council land for housing should be spent in the areas where the housing is built. I would not support SMBC diverting some of the money elsewhere in the Borough.
I support this policy with a heavy heart because this policy of asking the Developers to give something for planning permission is one road to more expensive houses. More expensive properties are the cause of the rental time bomb and the drop in home ownership.
