Vice chairman of the RICS minerals and waste faculty argues that government's proposed Aggregates Tax will not bring about noticeable financial or environmental benefits. Highlights the potential consequences for developers, which include higher development costs in housing, private infrastructure and government sponsored projects. Argues that the tax will increase bureaucracy for the construction industry, and is unlikely to have a positive impact on the recycling of building materials which is already carried out. Concludes that the proposed tax needs to be dramatically reviewed or abandoned.
