The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether his Department compensate councils for money lost from previously approved planning proposals for Community Infrastructure Levy funding.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The government does not compensate local authorities for money lost from previously approved planning proposals for Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding.
