Section 106 agreements signed in 2024 to 2025

Section 106

Planning obligations under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), commonly known as s106 agreements, is a mechanism that makes a development proposal acceptable in planning terms that would not otherwise be acceptable. The mechanism is focused on site-specific mitigation of the impact of development. S106 agreements are often referred to as 'developer contributions' along with highway contributions and CIL.

They are negotiated on a site-by-site basis and must be: necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms; directly related to the development; and fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. The amounts and uses of s106 are often prescribed by the associated legal agreement, although there is sometimes an element of flexibility. The allocation of these monies is integrated with the capital programme process.
