CIL evidently poorly thought out. Unrealistic wish list without regard for what may be practical and equitable. CIL in this form will exclude and prohibit many competent housebuilders from housebuilding. Those able to build under these restraints will be largely limited to a few national housebuilders and housing associations. Is that what is wanted? This should most certainly not be the case. CIL in this form, with figures or rates near those proposed will more or less bring housebuilding to a standstill. Where do legislators think the costs will come from? Profits? Whilst profits may outwardly appear good they are not as good as presumed and they are achieved at considerable risk. Ass the cost of CIL to house prices and thus mortgages? Will land prices fall? Unlikely for some long while and stalemate will ensue. Progress in housebuilding, providing homes, will cease. Again, the authors and local authorities propose taking assumed profit before it has been earned, and if it is not realised what price to the local authority. Nil, the loss falls to the developer, the housebuilder.
