Additionality and administration of commuted sums

It is important that any money sourced via commuted sums is additional to that already administered by the DfC and NIHE as part of the relevant affordable housing programmes and does not result in the displacement of money that would otherwise have been spent within the Belfast District. In some cases, it may be necessary to pool money from a number of developments to enable delivery and, depending upon the way in which any commuted sums are to be spent, funds may be administered by either the Council, DfC or NIHE.
