The council proposes introducing an online calculator to determine contributions for on-site public art in large development schemes. The approach would use the development’s location within CIL residential zones and its Gross Internal Area, with contributions below £25,000 not requested.

Recommendation

Introduce the online Developer Contributions Calculator for on-site public art provision, include it in the council’s Developer Contributions Technical Guidance, and apply an associated minimum contribution threshold of £25,000.

Financial impact

A minimum threshold of £25,000 is proposed; the consultation report states that £274,300 was received from schemes below this threshold during 2013–2021.

Next steps

parsed

Include the calculator in the council’s Developer Contributions Technical Guidance.
Clarify in a supporting note that sites within a Nil CIL charging zone remain subject to relevant S106 contributions and that the surrounding CIL residential zone applies.
Case officers will test the calculated public art contribution against other developer contribution requirements on a case-by-case basis.

"Decided elsewhere" is not built Finding the same decision in other councils needs semantic matching over decision text, which is part of the search rewrite. Until then, the council's own decisions list is the way through.
