To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government the amount outstanding in development levies to local authorities; the years to which these development levies relate; the amount of outstanding levies by county; the advice he will give to local authorities in terms of collecting such outstanding levies particularly in cases where a developer has gone out of business; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The role of the Minister in regard to development contributions is to provide the necessary statutory and policy framework within which individual development contribution schemes are adopted by each local authority. The adoption of these schemes is a reserved function of the locally elected members of each planning authority. It is a matter for the members to determine the level of contribution and the types of development to which they will apply. Similarly, and as with all local charges, the invoicing and collection of any outstanding development contributions is a matter for the local authority concerned to manage in the light of prevailing local circumstances and in accordance with normal financial procedures. Where any payments required in respect of development contributions are not settled such payments may be pursued by the planning authority through the courts as a contract debt and until such time as amounts outstanding are discharged in full the conditions of the relevant planning permission have not been met and the development is unauthorised.
The figure s requested are in the table below. Current debtors ar e debts due in the current year; long term debtors reflect all debts from previous years. However, an annual breakdown in respect of long term debtors is not available.
