Planning for Development + S106 AGREEMENTS

We are expert in negotiating our developer clients’ obligations under S106 (Section 75 in Scotland) – expertise that reflects the depth of our knowledge of the planning system, our ability authoritatively to assess the impact of our clients’ schemes, and our abilities as negotiators.

We use this same expertise on behalf of our public sector clients to optimise the value of new development to local economies.

We are pioneers – and one of the influences on Government’s developing policy under the 2004 Act – in the use of S106-type approaches to financing the costs of common infrastructure and public realm, working both in the growth areas and in areas which need regenerating.

Examples of our S106 work include:

The proposals in Hull, where as part of our work to produce the new Area Action Plan (to put in place the policy platform needed to deliver the City Centre Masterplan that we also prepared), we are proposing a S106 mechanism to help finance the additional infrastructure and public realm needed to accommodate the additional activity; S106 agreements where we have often improved our client’s returns by the management of the triggers for and timing of payments; and the proposals for financing infrastructure in parts of the South East growth areas through standard S106 charges which are likely to become are to become part of the regional planning guidance in these areas.
