Developer contributions
Developer contributions are means of mitigating the impact of new developments on local infrastructure. As a service we would seek developer contributions towards education provision, should a new development generate a need for additional school places.
Calculations
Contributions are calculated on a clear and transparent basis in accordance with the Community Infrastructure Levy. You can visit our Spatial Planning pages for further information.
