Temporary Waiver in Respect of Development Contributions
Update - October 2026
The waiver recipient should note that the terms of the scheme state that the development must be completed by 31st December 2026 and all monies waived shall be repayable if the terms of the waiver scheme are not complied with.
The clawback applies to the original applicant/developer only (i.e. the person/company who signed the Form of Undertaking). A purchaser, and any subsequent purchasers or successors in title, will not be pursued in respect of any clawback should such a clawback arise.
Clawback of Development Contributions will follow standard procedures in accordance with statutory powers and may involve either recovering, as a simple contract debt in a court of competent jurisdiction, the contribution (including interest and legal costs) due to the Planning Authority, or instigating enforcement action under the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) in respect of unpaid Development Contributions and all associated costs and fees.
