Section 106 agreements are legal agreements between a planning authority and a developer to ensure that certain works related to a development are undertaken. For example, to provide a community meeting space, open spaces or play area and equipment. We have produced a guide to help, a copy of which is available to view in the 'Read more' section. The guide - 'The Developer's Guide to Planning Agreements' provides information on our requirements for developers to provide or contribute to services and amenities.
Notes on 'Section 106 Unilateral Undertakings' can also be found in the 'Read more' section of this page.
Section 106 monitoring fee
A fee equivalent to 4% of the total financial contributions contained within an agreement will be levied to cover Council costs of the monitoring of the Section 106 Agreement. This will be paid preferably on the signing of the agreement, but can in some instances be paid on commencement of development by prior arrangement.
