"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"The two primary mechanisms for capturing land value to help fund new amenities such as schools and GP surgeries are planning obligations, negotiated through section 106 agreements, and the community infrastructure levy. An inquiry by the cross-party Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee found current arrangements fail to deliver for communities as processes are marked by protracted negotiations and variation in local approaches."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech while investigating political funding and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet relies on reader donations to fund reporters and avoids paywalls, arguing quality journalism should be available to everyone and paid for by those who can afford it. MPs have urged reform of levies on house builders to ensure land value increases benefit local residents. The two main mechanisms are section 106 planning obligations and the community infrastructure levy. A cross-party inquiry found these arrangements often fail communities, with protracted negotiations, local variation, added costs for under-resourced planning departments, and developers negotiating down affordable housing contributions on viability grounds after development has started.
