The adoption of individual development contribution schemes is a reserved function of the elected members of each planning authority. It is a matter for the members to determine the level of contribution and the types of development to which they apply.

In addition to the legislative framework my Department has also issued policy guidance on development contributions. Further draft guidance which will reflect current economic conditions is currently being prepared for public consultation.
