Section 106 agreements

There are 2 separate Section 106 (S106) proforma templates that can be used by applicants their agents according to the matters to be secured. They are:

  • Read our explanatory note – How to complete the s106 UU proforma (pdf 106KB)
  • S106 UU proforma (bespoke for EFSAC) (docx 72KB)

2: S106 (covering a range of matters)

Before completing and returning a S106 agreement, it is recommended that you first obtain independent legal advice. We are unable to offer this service to you.

An undertaking for legal fees will be requested by our legal representatives before any work is carried out. In the event that significant redrafting is required to your s106, our legal representative reserves the right to charge for its reasonable costs.

Modification or discharge of planning obligations

Section 106A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 enables a person against whom a S106 legal obligation is enforceable to apply to the local planning authority to have the obligation modified or discharged.

Please see below a guidance note for the process and the relevant application form.
