Planning contribution charges
Bird Aware Solent contribution
The Bird Aware Solent Strategy uses a sliding scale to calculate the contribution for new residential development built within 5.6km of the coastline. The contribution is calculated on the number of bedrooms per individual dwelling. The level of developer contribution to the Bird Aware Partnership is reviewed each February in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI) and rounded up to the nearest pound.

Affordable housing contribution
The contribution is calculated on a case-specific basis using the following formula
| Property Value |
- | Threshold |
= | Remaining value |
| (a) | - | (b) £100,000 | = | (c) |
| Remaining value | X | Tariff | = | Affordable Housing Contribution Sum |
| (c) | X | 3% | = | (d) |
Exceptions where the requirement for financial contributions would not apply are as follows:
- Where the Property Value at first sale or occupation does not exceed £100,000
- Where the development would not result in a net increase of new dwellings
- Where the development would result in a dwelling/ dwellings restricted by condition or other obligation restricting occupation – this includes holiday use, agricultural ties, age restrictions etc.
- Where the development would result in a dwelling/ dwellings provided as Affordable Housing in accordance with the definitions identified within the SPD, and where such provision is secured by planning obligation
