Commuted sums
Hampshire County Council needs developers to pay a commuted sum of money. This funds the future maintenance of items that have a higher maintenance cost compared with conventional materials or items, or those that would not be required if the development hadn't happened.
Where appropriate, Section 278 and Section 38 Agreements will include provision for commuted sums towards maintenance.
