Legislation requires that housing development
should mitigate its impact on community infrastructure, including
schools. “Developer contributions” towards new school
places should provide both funding for construction and land where
applicable. Following the publication of new Department for
Education (DfE) guidance on "Securing developer contributions for
education", the team established a policy working group to update
the current policy. If adopted, the updated policy
“Staffordshire Education Infrastructure Contributions Policy
(SEICP)” will enable additional developer contributions, for
funding for construction and land, to be secured towards the
provision of Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) places,
home to school travel (mainstream) and home to school travel
(SEND).
