I spoke yesterday evening at the Martin Arnold LLP conference: 'Community Infrastructure Levy - Or How to Kill the Golden Goose!'

Perhaps inevitably, the first question was 'what is the Golden Goose?'

Well as I went on to explain, to my mind, the bird that must keep on laying is the British property industry underpinning the economic recovery, and key among that is building homes in London and the South East - because that's where most of the quality jobs are.
