Developer Contributions Supplementary Guidance
What types of infrastructure, what type of development it applies to and any exceptions
Related information
This guideline covers all infrastructure covered in City Plan Policy Inf 3 Infrastructure Delivery and Developer Contributions. The following table sets out where policy exceptions apply, and appendices will explain any particular circumstances where full contributions will not be sought. As a general principle, where a smaller development is proposed but is clearly part of a phased development of a larger site which would be subject to a developer contribution, a pro-rata sum will still be sought at an appropriate stage in the development of the site as a whole. This avoids sites subdividing to avoid triggering full developer contributions requirements (for examples, where the impact may appear trivial).
