Developer Contributions

In some cases, a development may not go ahead, and the planning permission expires. This means any related planning obligations also end, and the associated contributions will no longer be required.

Where contributions are associated with legal agreements concerning outline planning permissions it may not be possible to work out what payments are due until a Reserved Matters submission is made.

For example, a predicted education cash contribution cannot always be calculated from an outline application. It is only when reserved matters applications are approved that a true understanding of the exact nature of the development becomes apparent and the sum can be calculated with accuracy.

This may also be the case for certain contributions towards the provision of leisure and community facilities and therefore these sums will not be shown in the reports.

The outstanding sums shown in reports are potential sums only and will only be delivered if the development is implemented.

In addition, payments may be phased and will only become due when, and if, that phase is carried out.
