Developers' contributions

Developers' contributions arise mainly as a result of agreements under

Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980. If a development derives special

benefit from highway works, developers can be required to

contribute towards the costs. Before being applied, deposits are credited

with interest on the basis of market rates. As such the carrying amount

is a reasonable assessment of the fair value of the financial liability.
