Planning Gain
Planning gain is covered by a legal agreement under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The agreements are often referred to as 106 agreements. Other key bits of legislation include the section 278 Highways Act.
What are 106 agreements?
The agreements cover infrastructure requirements for new developments including cash contributions. These can cover a range of items from road improvements to education costs. Social housing issues are also covered i.e. the provision on-site of Housing Association units. Other typical items are play areas and public open spaces and the commuted sums for their future maintenance.
