Developer Contributions
Why are you seeking Developer Contributions?
Across Scotland local authorities are having difficulty
maintaining and developing infrastructure in order to keep up with
the pressures of new development. Additional funding sources beyond
that of the local authority are required to ensure that
infrastructure constraints do not inhibit sustainable economic
growth. This has been a particular issue in Perth and Kinross
where the population grew by 6.8% in the period 1991-2001.
Can you tell me more about the Developer Contributions Planning
Guidance Note?
The Developer Contributions Guidance sets out the legal basis
and general principles for the delivery of developer contributions
which provide a means to enable proposed development to proceed and
to meet the needs of the local community associated with the new
development by securing contributions towards the provision of
infrastructure and services. You can get a copy of the guidance
from the downloads section of this page.
Can you tell me more about the Primary Education and New
Housing Development Planning Guidance Note?
The Primary Education and New Housing Development Guidance sets
out the basis on which we will seek to secure contributions from
developers of new homes towards the cost of meeting primary
education infrastructure improvements necessary as a consequence of
development. You can get a copy of the guidance from the downloads
section on this page.
