Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to ensure developers comply with their obligations under Section 106 agreements.

Section 106 planning obligations are negotiated between a local authority and developer on a case by case basis.

The revised National Planning Policy Framework introduces early and transparent viability assessments. This strengthens the ability of local authorities to make developers deliver their obligations under Section 106 agreements.

We have committed in our response to the HCLG Select Committee on land value capture to report to the Committee by the end of 2019 on the effect of these recent reforms.
