Read the Planning Contributions SPD (PDF, 2 MB).

This SPD is designed to help lessen the pressure of development on an area's infrastructure. We can ask developers to help improve local infrastructure if this prevents negative effects of their work. The SPD lets developers know

  • what we can ask them to do
  • how we'll ask them
