answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2022 answer text <p>Local planning authorities are able to collect developer contributions through the Community Infrastructure Levy and section 106 planning obligations. The levy is a set charge on most new development to help address the cumulative impact of development by funding infrastructure provision anywhere across the authority's area. <br> <br>Different charges can be set for different types of development, based on viability evidence. In Bristol for example, the levy charge for student accommodation is currently £148 per square metre citywide, while the charge for other residential development in Bristol is either £103 or £74 per square metre, depending on location. Local planning authorities can also seek a bespoke section 106 planning obligation, where appropriate, to mitigate the impact of a specific development.</p><p>An Infrastructure Funding Statement, detailing an authority's request, receipt and use of developer contributions, is required to be published annually.</p><p>We are exploring replacing the existing system of developer contributions with a new Infrastructure Levy, which would also be chargeable on this type of development.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 25/01/2022 17:48:49 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>This Government has set out its vision to meet R&amp;D investment of 2.4% of GDP within ten years and 3% in the longer-term. R&amp;D funding from the EU contributes to overall R&amp;D expenditure in the UK and we would welcome an agreement to continue to collaborate with our European partners on major science, research, and technology initiatives.</p><p> </p><p>While we remain a member of the EU, UK businesses and universities should continue to bid for competitive EU funds, and we will work with the Commission to ensure payment when funds are awarded. The Government will underwrite the payment of such awards, even when specific projects continue beyond the UK’s departure from the EU. This includes awards that are bid for before exit that are successful after exit.</p><p> </p><p>Going forward, our ambition for R&amp;D investment will be an important part of our Industrial Strategy and will require a concerted cross-government approach. We have already increased R&amp;D investment by £4.7 billion over the period 2017-18 to 2020-21. This equates to an extra £2 billion per year by 2020-21 and is an increase of around 20% to total government R&amp;D spending, more than any increase in any parliament since 1979.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 16/10/2017 16:17:00 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
