1. The Policy

Each local authority has a Public Art policy that is adopted through the planning process (previously referred to as Percent for Art). Planning departments throughout the county encourage developers to commission artworks and projects as part of any commercial, private or public development. Criteria will depend on the size of development, location and local authority area. Please refer to each area's Local Plan or Supplementary Planning Documents for further details and definitions;
