S106 Legal Agreements and Obligations
Planning obligations under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), commonly known as S106 agreements, are a mechanism which make a development proposal acceptable in planning terms, that would not otherwise be acceptable. They are focused on site specific mitigation of the impact of development. S106 agreements are often referred to as 'developer contributions' along with highway contributions and the Community Infrastructure Levy.
The Planning Advisory Service and Planning Portal provide more information on S106 obligations.
The Council prepares reports which contain the summary details of all S106 Agreements signed including a summary report of agreements with financial obligations and a summary of the contributions received and spent.
