Section 106 SPD
 The council can enter into a Section 106 agreement, otherwise known as a 'planning obligation', with a developer where it is necessary to provide contributions to offset negative impacts caused by construction and development.
Examples of contributions range from the provision of affordable homes and new open space to funding of school places or employment training schemes.
The developer will either implement these or make payments to the council for them to be carried out. All Section 106 agreements must be relevant to the development they relate to.
The council and planning applicants can use the Section 106 Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) to guide negotiations for Section 106 planning contributions. Contributions may be required before planning permission can be granted.
