Developers guide to infrastructure contributions in Suffolk

Developer contributions are funded through either S106 Contributions or the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), further information can be found in the developers guide.

The developers guide has been in existence since 2011 with some updates overtime, and a consultation on a revised draft was open for a six-week period starting Monday 28 April to Monday 9 June 2025. The developers guide has been updated and redesigned in line with the feedback received as set out in the consultation statement.
