Section 106 obligations

(see also Planning Obligations)

There is no such thing as a straightforward Section 106 agreement because they uniquely draw on land law and land use planning in a manner that is a trap for the inexperienced and can lead to immense financial losses if there is a mistake. Let us guide you through the process to safeguard your position.

Our Section 106 Experience

We have been involved with Section 106 agreements from their outset, when they were usually known as Section 52 Agreements. Judicial decisions in this area where we have been instructed routinely appear in all the main planning bulletins, encyclopaedias, and indeed some of the cases are referred to in government circulars and statements. If you ask us to help you, our expertise can be used for your benefit.

The importance of S106 is frequently under-estimated in delivery of planning permission on appeal and we are happy to explore the possibilities for your project.

Primary advisors

We are very happy to act as subordinate advisors to architects and planning consultants who are at the stage where the principle of development is approved subject to an agreement. We can provide discreet advice to such primary advisors.
