The Government is planning each overhaul of the council tax to fund the building of new homes for first-time buyers and families.

In future, Nimbys who object to recent developments will pay the price of their opposition in higher body of advisers tax bills.

Grant Shapps, the Housing Minister, has told The Times that he command reward local authorities that give planning approval to housing developments by matching the council tax revenue collected from these homes. The currency will continue for six years, with extra provided for affordable homes in spite of first-time buyers.

Mr Shapps said: “An authority that ensured 10,000 renovated homes are put up could be in line for £100 the multitude over six years. The incentives will be available for housing schemes that permit planning permission today.”

Councils that fail to ensure the pile of social and private sector homes will be penalised and disposition receive more money only by raising council taxes.

Mr Shapps aims to make a clean sweep of council tax increase capping. The incentives are intended to boost the struggling housebuilding sedulousness. The construction of hosues has fallen to its lowest level seeing that 1924 and there is a shortfall of one million, despite the targets tend by the previous government.

Since the election housebuilders have stopped be in action at various sites after Eric Pickles, the Communities Secretary, said that local authorities did not need to meet these targets.

Mr Shapps is determined to overthrow those who object to new developments, despite allowing local people further say under the “revolutionary” planning overhaul. He wants the bulk of mankind to suggest former industrial and other sites that should be cleared to arrange housing. But there are concerns among housebuilders that some politicians be inclined not support new developments. One housebuilder said: “Housing is not a notable vote winner.”

Rob Perrins, managing director of Berkeley Group, before-mentioned: “I fully support the objective, which will give power to limited authorities to increase supply of houses through the planning system. But limited authorities have to behave responsibly for the policy to work and I am not convinced that financial incentives are the right way forward.”

Chris Tinker, a superintendent of Crest Nicholson said: “I fear that Nimbyism will notwithstanding be a prevailing tendency. The only way forward is for the incentives to have ~ing tangible enough to encourage councils to deliver homes.”

Housebuilders furthermore suggested that some would pay a big council tax bill more willingly than have their view spoilt by a new housing estate.

Mr Shapps, MP for Welwyn Hatfield, Hertfordshire, said: “£100 million would pay ~ the sake of the regeneration of Hatfield — the town centre is falling apart. It’s not at all been regenerated because of a lack of money.”

He afore~ that the Treasury had agreed the project with funding coming from the &crush;29 billion Revenue Grant. The distribution of money from the yield would favour local authorities that backed developments.

“At the value, a house gets built, the people move in, the council collects, tell £1,500 in council tax. The council does not in truth see that money — it’s revenue neutral. Our project will mean that when councils give planning assent they will gather from central government matched funding, pound for pound, for every honest new home that is occupied for six years.”

Mark Clare, cluster chief executive of Barratt Developments, said: “It’s indispensable that any incentive package is put in place without delay and it is place at a level that will provide a genuine incentive to utter the Government’s stated objective of building more homes.”
