Details of local authorities' receipts from development contributions for the period 1994-2005, based on annual planning statistical returns from planning authorities, are available on my Department's website. Annual returns for 2006 are currently being compiled by planning authorities. The table, which will be forwarded to the Deputy, sets out the projections that were provided by all City and most County, Borough and Town Councils in mid 2006 on the application of development contributions for the years 2007-2010. A number of Councils were unable to provide projections; all local authorities will shortly be asked for updated projections. Data for Borough and Town Councils are included in the county figures. My Department does not collect information on development contributions demanded by planning authorities.
Under article 16 of the Local Government (Financial Procedures and Audit) Regulations 2002, local authorities are required to maintain an adequate and effective system of internal audit of their accounting and control systems covering both capital and current expenditure and income.
