General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Robert Keran:
There are fixes for that in the sense that the mechanism at the moment is a register of land values. There is a separate process for self-assessments, as the Deputy is aware. Perhaps a better process would be if the land was valued at the date of the planning application, for example. The self-assessment would be submitted with the planning application that values the land at that date so it is current and up-to-date, and it would factor in other transactions on other sites in the area. That might be one area for us to make a written submission.
