Strategic Transport Infrastructure
Financial contributions required for new development
For new development sited within relevant zones of the district, Dover District Council collects proportionate financial contributions towards the planned improvements/upgrades to the Whitfield and Duke of York Roundabouts, as set out in Policy SP12 of the Local Plan to 2040. The improvements to these roundabouts are required to mitigate the cumulative impacts of all new housing development and their transport movements on these two highway junctions on the A2.

*All payments made will be index linked (BCIS) from October 2022 (Date of roundabout costings).
For online payments, the indexation will be calculated on a quarterly basis and the table above will be updated to show the amount due.
For contributions secured through a S106, please refer to the Tariff and the indexation calculation set out in the agreement.
How and when must the contribution be paid?
The contribution can be secured through a S106 or Unilateral Undertaking, which will require the contribution to be paid on first occupation of the development.
Alternatively, if the planning application does not require a S106 or Unilateral Undertaking to secure other contributions, the contribution can be paid through an online payment. This would need to be done before the application can be determined.
