Developer contributions may be required to pay for, or contribute towards, the cost of additional infrastructure and services needed as a result of new development.
The Developer Contributions Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) 2011 [PDF, 2MB] details our policy for securing developer contributions from new developments that require planning permission. It also:
- explains the relationship between developer contributions and the Community Infrastructure Levy and
- provides guidance on the types of contribution that will be sought and the basis for charges.
The Developer Contributions Updated Costs document [PDF, 0.3MB] [PDF, 0.5MB] sets out the updated costs for outdoor sports facilities and landscape maintenance rates.
Our annual reports are included in the Infrastructure Funding Statements:
