This area covers agreements and mechanisms by which a developer provides or funds infrastructure and affordable commitments as a condition of planning permission in England. A solicitor in this field drafts, negotiates and administers planning obligations (often called Section 106 agreements) and related funding regimes to secure contributions for housing, schools, transport, open space and other public infrastructure, as well as affordable housing. The work reflects the planning policy framework, the local planning authority's requirements, and the need to ensure timely delivery and enforceable terms for the lifetime of a development.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the drafting and negotiation of planning obligations, ensuring enforceable obligations attach to planning permissions, mapping contributions to infrastructure and affordable housing requirements, aligning with local plan policies, and coordinating with bodies such as the local planning authority, utility providers and housing partners. They also manage changes via deeds, monitor compliance through conditions, and address any post-permission adjustments or disputes, including registerable charges and compliance with the Community Infrastructure Levy where applicable.
