Renfrewshire Council

Have your say on our draft Developer Contributions (Education) Planning Guidance

We've published our draft Developer Contributions (Education) Planning Guidance. [3MB]

The guidance sets out when we'll ask developers for financial contributions towards investment in education infrastructure which is needed, in full or in part, because of proposed housing development.

It will be taken into consideration in the assessment of planning applications for new residential development in our council area. It aims to introduce a degree of certainty for all stakeholders involved in proposing and assessing new residential development that will have an impact on the capacity of schools within Renfrewshire.

We recognise the importance of communities, landowners, housing developers and other stakeholders in shaping this planning guidance, so we've published a draft version of it so you can have your say.

To have your say on the guidance, you can:

• fill in our consultation response form
• email your response to us at localplanconsultation@renfrewshire.gov.uk.

You can also send your response by post to:

Place Strategy Team
Planning and Building Standards
Renfrewshire Council
4th Floor, Renfrewshire House
Paisley
PA1 1BU

We'll be taking responses on the guidance until Friday 21 February 2025.

Our Place Strategy Team will be happy to meet and discuss any aspect of the Draft Planning Guidance during the consultation period. Please email us at localplanconsultation@renfrewshire.gov.uk to arrange a meeting.

The Renfrewshire Local Development Plan and Action Programme outlines the commitment to preparing additional guidance to support the delivery of development across Renfrewshire.

The council prepares planning guidance documents, which are material considerations in the determining of planning applications. These guidance notes aim to provide detailed guidance on a range of issues.
