So.. if you're (or if you know anyone who is) wrangling with the council over a contract that will considerably inflate your build costs, the reasonably good news is that you may not now have to pay it - seek some legal advice if you're being pushed around, because I assume that councils will be as unwilling to give up a nice cash cow this time around as they were last time. The exemption may disappear again, should the original challenging councils take it to the supreme court and secure a win
