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 & Kinross where the population grew by 6.8% in the period 1991-2001.
What are you counsulting on?
On the 3rd September 2008 the Enterprise and Infrastructure Committee agreed to the principle of consulting on the use of Developer Contributions to assist in meeting the infrastructure requirements of new development.
The Committee approved for consultation a draft Developer Contributions Policy and the principles for the development of further Supplementary Planning Guidance. The Committee also approved for consultation a draft Primary Education Contribution Supplementary Planning Guidance document.
How long is the consultation period?
The consultation period runs for 4 weeks from 5th September 2008 until 3rd October 2008. The consultation document is available from the downloads section on this page.
