Developers 'should pay more for healthcare'
The Herald
|March 10, 2025
INDEPENDENT LEADER URGING PLANNING REFORM CHANGES
DEVELOPERS should contribute more to healthcare when they secure land for homes, a Plymouth councillor has said.
The leader of the city council’s Independent group Patrick Nicholson (Plymouth St Mary) has called on the authority to push the Government to look into it as part of its planning reforms.
He said there is a clear agenda for more homes, yet the money from developers for improving healthcare is “wholly inappropriate and insignificant”
Housebuilders have to make payments for community assets such as road improvements, education and sport facilities as part of planning consent, as well as providing affordable homes depending on the size of the development.
