Developers do not 'contribute' to anything. All costs, including CIL go to the customer. If the cost is too high, fewer people can afford them. So it works against housing affordability. If CIL makes unit cost too high, the developer will not proceed. No homes, affordable or market will be built. Because developers are not confident in sales, sites that already have planning approvals have not started.
So, CIL needs to be at an affordable level for directly related costs, not for large costs of district wide traffic improvements, schools, parks etc., where the existing provision is deficient.
