Too little detail provided of how this might work.
Any community levy will be passed on to house purchasers. It will fall into higher house prices and agreements to low levies before developers agree to proceed that are insufficient to provide the necessary infrastructure. Not realistic to expect developers to pay out of profits: they are a business.
Add the affordable housing requirement of whatever percentage then it will be normal house purchasers that will get higher prices and prices become less affordable. As new house prices rise, prices for old houses rise too and market gets out of control.
If planning authority allows development, has to take lead to provide infrastructure.
No development should commence unless infrastructure implications have been worked out, planned in and financed.
