Section 106 Agreements
Following the introduction of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), the council revised its Developer Contributions SPD (September 2013). This guidance covers CIL, Planning obligations (Section 106 Agreements) and planning conditions. This guidance covers CIL, Planning obligations (Section 106 Agreements) and planning conditions.
The CIL replaces Section 106 contributions for many forms of infrastructure. Section 106 contributions will however continue to be used for site specific infrastructure including affordable housing. Some sites will make both a CIL payment and a Section 106 contribution.
