Part 4: Infrastructure Levy and Community Infrastructure Levy Section 138: Power to designate Homes and Communities Agency as a charging authority Effect
Section 138 amends section 14 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 to provide that, if a designation order is made under section 13 of that Act designating the HCA as a local planning authority for all or part of a designated area, then the designation order may also make provision for the HCA to be the IL charging authority for all or part of the designated area. The order may specify that the HCA is to be the charging authority for all or specified purposes, and in relation to all or specified types of development. The order may also designate the HCA as the charging authority in place of the body that would otherwise be the charging authority, so that there are not multiple authorities charging IL on the same developments.
