Language: English Series: Regeneration and Renewal ; 20 January 2006, 23(1)Publication details: 2006Subject(s): Summary: Criticises Kate Barker's endorsement of Planning Gain Supplement (PGS) as a means of boosting housing supply and advocates the introduction of a land-value tax which would encourage efficient use of land in accordance with development plans. Claims Barker rejected land-value tax failing to recognise how it works elsewhere and failing to take on board advances in GIS and GIS policy. Outlines the authors' land-value tax research at Kingston University. The introduction of a land-value tax regime would have a considerable positive effect on land supply for housing whereas the proposed PGS has created uncertainty among developers and will certainly stem the flow of land onto the market.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
