Section 106 is a legal agreement between an applicant applying for a building permit and the local planning authority, which is used to mitigate the impact of your new home on the local community and infrastructure. In other words, a new house means a different car on the streets and maybe your kids will visit nearby schools, which will weigh a little more heavily on local services. The planning obligation is a formal document, a document that states that it is a planning obligation, that the lands concerned, the person who is in the obligation and their interests, and the competent local authority that would enforce the obligation, be identified. Commitment can be a single commitment or a multi-party agreement. These new appeal and appeal procedures do not replace existing powers to renegotiate Section 106 agreements on a voluntary basis. In addition, with respect to affordable housing, this provision is not a substitute for provisions to amend a requirement established by the 1992 regulations and updated by the 2013 regulations (see above). Send a letter confirming that the legal agreement has been fully complied with. Section 106 (S106) Agreements are legal agreements between local authorities and developers; These are linked to planning authorities and can also be characterized as planning obligations.
