Section 106 agreements

Planning obligations under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 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.

The council are committed to making the process open and transparent. Work has recently taken place to improve the way in which information relating to the section 106 obligations is held so customers have improved access to this information.

In developing this database, we are also taking the opportunity to ensure all data held in the system is correct. This is an ongoing process with staff currently reviewing all agreements.

Our Section 106 agreements are available to view via our Public Access system under the application reference number.

Please remember to state the invoice number and planning application reference on all payments.

We appreciate all feedback from customers on the provision of this information. If you have any questions or wish to provide feedback, please complete the form below. We will aim to repond to your comments/questions within 20 working days.
