Housebuyers ‘face 20% cost hike in plan to charge quarries’
The ICF, which represents the concrete industry, has warned building products will rise in price by 20% because of proposed charges on quarries.
“A charge on quarries is a charge on all development. These charges will increase the cost of homes, schools, hospitals, factories, roads, motorways, water and sewerage facilities,” ICF chief executive John Maguire said.
