Adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) November 2003. Regarded as a material consideration of substantial weight when determining planning applications. The methodology requires the developer to enter into a legal agreement - a model agreement is available from the Planning Authority.

Developers are required to provide or contribute towards the costs of infrastructure and other measures which are necessary to mitigate (lessen) the impact of the development and to ensure that new development is accessible by sustainable transport.

The contributions methodology ensures that contributions are calculated in a manner that is fair, consistent and transparent.
