answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/10/2020 answer text <p>The proposal to create a new Infrastructure Levy, as set out in the <em>Planning for the Future</em> White Paper, will support a more streamlined and accessible planning system. Sustainable transport systems make a positive contribution to the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the communities they serve. The new Levy will raise at least as much value as is currently captured through Community Infrastructure Levy and section 106 and will continue to be collected and spent at the local level, on priorities including infrastructure and affordable housing. <br> <br> The White Paper also sets out that when authorities are identifying land or future development through Local Plans, it will be important for them to consider how to most effectively support climate change mitigation and adaptation, including, for example, the ability to maximise walking, cycling and public transport opportunities.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 01/10/2020 16:05:12 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
