Description
Summary:	Liz Peace, as chief executive of the British Property Federation, played a key role in negotiating with ministers over the final shape of the resulting Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), introduced via the Planning Act 2008 just as the credit crunch was churning up the financial landscape. Despite the change of administration in 2010, Peace's influence endures. And she is not shy of criticising the new government's policies when she sees threats to her membership of large commercial developers. Peace identifies CIL as one of the biggest threats to growth from within the planning system. Although never an enthusiastic supporter of new financial burdens, her organisation accepts the principle that developers should contribute to infrastructure. Despite helping to shape CIL, however, Peace is now disillusioned with how the charge is shaping up. Despite her criticisms, Peace is keen to dispel any impression that large developers want to see the planning system dismantled.
