CS 12: Developer Contributions to Community Infrastructure

Developers must be able to demonstrate that the service and community infrastructure necessary to serve the development is available. Where implementation of a development would create the need to provide additional or improved community facilities and infrastructure, or would exacerbate an existing deficiency in their provision, developers will be expected to make the necessary provision.

Where the developer is unable to provide the required facility directly (preferably on site), the Council may require a proportionate financial contribution from the developer, normally secured by means of a legal planning obligation, towards its provision elsewhere.
