Photos: S106 contributions help to fund new or improved infrastructure, including play areas, open spaces, and community and sports facilities
Developer contributions, often known as ‘S106 contributions’, are paid by developers to mitigate the impact of new homes and other buildings, which create extra demands on local facilities.
Our overview of S106 funding [PDF, 0.1MB] explains more about how developer contributions are used in Cambridge.
Please also see our infrastructure funding statement.
Improving local facilities
Every ward in Cambridge has benefitted from new or improved facilities, funded from S106 contributions, which help to mitigate the impact of development. These include community meeting rooms, play areas, open spaces, sports centres, and public art.
