On the collection of the levy, Mr. Oonan has just pointed out to me that the fact that we are removing three of the four appeals will make it much easier to collect. At present, section 18 of the 2015 Act allows the site owner to appeal the demand of payment of the levy, and this is after he or she may already have appealed it. It is nuts. The Bill will make it much easier for the local authorities to collect their levy.
