Gordon plans more pain with little gain

By: Series: Estates Gazette ; (0550) 17 December 2005, 84-85(2)Publication details: 2005Subject(s): Summary: Examines the government proposal to tax gains in land value arising from the grant of planning permission, although the precise form that the planning gain supplement will take is still undecided. Considers the shift towards bringing forward regeneration projects through pooling of contributions, the significant curtailment but not abolition of the s106 regime and the inadequate number of planning officers available to process caseloads. Concludes that the proposed land tax is likely to increase the cost of developments without hastening the planning process.
