Guidance and template for Section 106 Agreements
For all planning applications that involve affordable housing,
applicants will be required to submit a Section 106 Agreement. The
purpose of this Agreement is to ensure that the affordable housing
is of a high quality and that:
- the homes go to local people most in need of affordable
housing, and
- the rents or prices are affordable, and remain so in the
future
Any proposals for affordable housing will need to take account
of the advice in the Council's Supplementary Planning Documents for
Affordable Housing. We strongly recommend that discussions are held
with the Affordable Housing Team at the Council before any planning
applications are submitted. They can advise you about the options
available, and can also give informal advice about how you can use
the s106 Template as the basis for your affordable housing
proposals.
If you are not absolutely sure about how the s106 agreement
affects you, or what the different clauses mean, you should
consider seeking the advice of your own solicitor.
Please note;
The Council's solicitor or legal section cannot provide you with legal advice about
S106 agreements.
