Video: The Stonewater decision – what does it mean for affordable housing delivery?
2nd December, 2021
With the High Court recently ruling that Registered Provider Stonewater is liable to a community infrastructure levy bill of more than £3m, our built environment specialists pick through the pieces.
Featuring a panel including representatives from social housing providers Bernicia and Leeds Federation, our planning and land acquisition specialists introduce the discussion by briefly taking us through such questions as:
- What is the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and do Registered Providers have to pay it?
- What is CIL Social Housing Relief and (briefly!) how does it work?
- What did the Stonewater decision say about Social Housing Relief?
- Is a Registered Provider still free to overprovide affordable housing from a site and what does this mean for the future of affordable housing delivery?
- What impact will this have on the way we structure land acquisition deals?
