Planning obligations and section 106 agreements have become much more prevalent in the development industry. With cutbacks in public expenditure local authorities are increasingly looking to fund infrastructure and other types of expenditure through the planning system.
In this book we look at the requirements for a valid section 106 agreement and the underlying policy context. We also examine every day practical issues as to the contents of agreements and how certain issues can be resolved. Finally we consider the issue of enforcement of obligations in the event of non-compliance.
