Responding to the Infrastructure Levy, Sarah Bevan, Director, Planning & Development at 91¶¶Òù, said:
“The painfully slow planning system is an impediment to delivering the homes and economic growth that London and the rest of the UK needs. Whilst the Government is seeking to speed up the process through an overhaul of the planning gain system, we believe that its draft proposals for a new Infrastructure Levy will, in fact, exacerbate timescales further and deliver less infrastructure and affordable housing than the current system.â€
