In a move to try and kick start stalled housing developments the Government are proposing to allow formal requests for renegotiation of section 106 agreements agreed in more buoyant market conditions.

Currently such a formal request can only be made when an obligation is five years old. The local authority must take a decision on such a request and there is a right to appeal. The Government’s proposed change would … Continue reading

Remember this is someone, who, as a minister in the 1980s, famously said planners were “tying up jobs in filing cabinets”. So it seems odd that planning has to wait until page 109 of the report, and is introduced with the clunking “one area is at the top of the growth agenda – planning!” And would anyone … Continue reading
