Find details of S106 Planning Obligations and CIL income, allocation and spending
The Annual Infrastructure Funding Statements (IFS) provide information on developer contributions, which are used to provide infrastructure to support development and mitigate its impacts.
Developer contributions is a collective term used to refer to S106 Planning Obligations, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and anything else that a developer must contribute, as identified by Central Government.
S106 Planning Obligations
Planning obligations under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, commonly known as s106 agreements, are a mechanism used to make a development proposal acceptable in planning terms.
They are focused on site specific mitigation of the impact of development by way of either the direct provision of infrastructure (both on and off site of the development) and through the payment of financial contributions to the local planning authority.
Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
The CIL allows local authorities to raise funds, to contribute to infrastructure projects, that support new development.
CIL is applied as a charge per square metre, and is payable for developments in the borough which provide new residential or retail floorspace.
Our CIL Charging Schedule came into effect in the borough on 15 February 2017 and it applies to new development permitted from this date.
Our Annual Funding Statements
Reporting on developer contributions helps local communities and developers see how contributions have been spent and understand what future funds will be spent on, ensuring a transparent and accountable system.
We must publish our Infrastructure Funding Statement by 31 December for the previous financial year.
