Comments requested by 10 May: Developer Contributions for Public Realm

A Draft Developer Contributions for Public Realm Guideline  is now the subject of a consultation. This follows on from The Public Realm Strategy, which focuses on providing developers and practitioners with an understanding of the Council’s aspirations for a consistent and high quality approach to public spaces. The Public Realm Strategy states that funding for public realm projects can no longer be considered solely the responsibility of the public sector.


Whilst comments are welcome regarding any aspect of the guide, the Council would be particularly interested to hear your views regarding the following:


- Is the principle of developer contributions a good way of delivering public realm?


- Should the area of contribution be limited to the Central Area?


- Is the level of contribution acceptable?
