Background information

Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process, where we research and answer specific questions to help us collect more information.

Backlog

Screen

  • What is the 'Developer contributions' consideration?

  • Is there legislation that defines 'Developer contributions'?

  • Who, in law, is responsible for the planning consideration or makes decisions about 'Developer contributions'?

  • Which organisations do we think should publish the data?

    Yes

  • Do we think the data should come from a single source?

    Yes

    As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.

    'Ad hoc' was listed as no specific data update frequency was found. This data is likely to be updated by LPAs following the approval of a planning application.
