Builders already have to pay up for roads, schools, GP surgeries and parkland needed when local communities expand \u2013 in 2016 to 2017 alone they paid a whopping \u00a36 billion towards local infrastructure helping create jobs and growth.<\/p>\n<p>Yet before today, councils were not required to report on the total amount of funding received \u2013 or how it was spent \u2013 leaving local residents in the dark. New rules will mean councils will be legally required to publish vital deals done with housing developers so residents can see exactly how money will be spent investing in the future of their community.<\/p>\n<p>Housing Minister Rt Hon Esther McVey MP said: \u2018The new rules coming into force today will allow residents to know how developers are contributing to the local community when they build new homes &#8211; whether that\u2019s contributing to building a brand-new school, roads or a doctor\u2019s surgery that the area needs.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The reformed Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) rules will help developers get shovels in the ground more quickly, and help the government meet its ambition to deliver 300,000 extra homes a year by the mid-2020s.\u00a0 The rules are designed to support councils and give greater confidence to communities about the benefits new housing can bring to their area.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/communities-to-see-how-housing-developers-cash-benefits-them-thanks-to-new-planning-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local people in England will be able to see how every pound of property developers\u2019 cash, levied on new buildings, is spent supporting the new homes their community needs. image: Open Government Licence v3.0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24034"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24034\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24036,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24034\/revisions\/24036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
