Development Contribution Scheme 2026-2029
Section 48 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) enables the Planning Authority when granting planning permission to include conditions requiring the payment of financial contributions in respect of public infrastructure and facilities benefiting development in the area of the Planning Authority, and that is provided, or intended to be provided, by or on behalf of the Local Authority, regardless of other sources of funding for the infrastructure and facilities.
The Wexford County Council Development Contribution Scheme 2026-2029 was formally adopted by the Elected Members of Wexford County Council at its meeting on the 8th of December 2025. The Scheme will come into effect on the 1st of January 2026 and will apply to all planning applications validated from that date.
