1. Section 106 A Strategic Approach

2. Supplementary Planning Document 4 (SPD4) requires a developer to make a financial contribution, a S106 contribution, to Bristol City Council for Recreational Facilities - Parks and Green Space.
This developer's residential contribution is used to offset the increased demand that the additional residents of the development will impose on the Parks and Green Space provision in the area surrounding the development and citywide facilities.
The city has been divided up into Neighbourhood Partnership Areas to identify areas of local provision. For accounting purposes, S106 contributions are allocated to a particular NPA.
