Section 106 Agreements

A Section 106 agreement (S106) is a legally binding agreement between the Local Planning Authority (LPA) and a developer/landowner as a way of securing planning obligations. As such, it is something that is agreed as part of a planning application.

The purpose of a S106 agreement is to mitigate the impact of the proposed development in question, either by securing on-site mitigations or off-site financial contributions. This could be through the provision of affordable housing, facilities, infrastructure, open space on site, or by providing a financial contribution to the LPA or third party in lieu of providing these things directly. 

These obligations may also be secured through an agreement known as a Unilateral Undertaking (UU), which is something that is signed solely by the applicant. UU’s are typically used in a particular circumstances, such as when an application is approved on appeal.

The below table lists all of the S106 agreements that have been made with the LPA since 2013 and provides a link to individual webpages where you can find out more about the off-site financial contributions made under each of those agreements as well as a link to the actual agreement itself.

S106 Agreements with Spend Deadlines

As well as other requirements, some of the payments made under S106 agreements have spend deadlines, meaning that the funding must be used for an appropriate purpose before the expiry of the spend deadline, otherwise the funds must be returned to the organisation that provided it.

The following table is a list of all unspent S106 agreement payments that have spend deadlines, as of 31st March 2023. This list does not account for any funding commitments, allocations or other requirements of the agreements and so some of this funding may be allocated to particular projects already.

For more information on S106 funding, please contact the Council at S106@eaststaffsbc.gov.uk.
