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.
We have also created a 'Section 106 calculator' which can help developers estimate the requirement for open space and the provision or contribution to community facilities such as library services, dog bins, litter bins, sewer baiting, waste management and community buildings. It does not take into account other services such as education, transport, social services etc.
Notes on 'Section 106 Unilateral Undertakings' can also be found in the 'Read more' section of this page.
