  3. Supplementary Planning Document 4

  4. The Supplementary Planning Document 4 (SPD4) requires a developer to make a financial contribution (S106 contribution) to Bristol City Council for Recreational Facilities - Parks and Green Space. This developer's residential contribution is used to offset the increased demand that the additional residents of the development will impose on the Parks and Green Space provision in the area surrounding the development / citywide facilities. The city has been divided up into Neighbourhood Partnership Areas (NPAs) to identify areas of local provision. Planning Permission & S106 Agreement = Planning Permission granted, construction commencement / occupation triggers S106 payment

  5. The Developer's Contribution is calculated from the following information…. • Average number of persons per dwelling on a ward basis. This information is taken from the 2001 Census. • The Parks and Green Space Strategy - Bristol Standard for quantity provision of 32.91m2 per person. • The per m2 cost of providing parks and green space facilities.
