answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2018 answer text <p>To support small scale developers, national policy states that affordable housing and tariff style section 106 contributions should not be sought from sites of ten units or less. This would usually apply to self-builders. Furthermore, self-builders should not have to pay Community Infrastructure Levy charges where an exemption has been applied for and obtained. However, it may be appropriate for local authorities to seek planning obligations from development where they are required to make a proposal acceptable in planning terms.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 01/05/2018 12:22:56 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
