On 11 December 2007, following the issuing
of the Inspector's Binding Report, the Council resolved that the
Tendring
District Local Plan be immediately adopted. This has a
significant effect for all Planning Applications for new
developments in respect of S106 Legal Agreements.
A
Section 106 Legal Agreement is an agreement drawn in accordance
with S106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended)
and within the guidance laid down by Government Circular 05/2005:
Planning Obligations. The agreement is entered into by the owner(s)
and any party who has an interest in the land (e.g. mortgagee) to
complete Planning Obligations as a result of the development being
undertaken.
A
S106 Legal Agreement will be required for every application* for
the development of new dwellings and possibly for other forms of
development.
*excludes applications for extensions, property alterations,
conservatories etc. If you are unsure, please call the Legal
Agreements Manager on 01255 686109.
The scale of contributions follows a per unit formula set by the
Council, as set out in the pdf document:
Scale of Contributions including worked examples.
How will the money be used?
The Council on its part will use the contributions in accordance
with the purposes identified in the agreement.
Can I check how the contribution has been
spent?
The Planning Service monitors the use of financial contributions
through development very carefully.
The reports below, updated monthly, show you how and where your
contribution has been spent.
Section 106 Financial Reports to 28 February
2010: (agreements already signed and where the funds are
being spent.)
Need Help?

please do not hesitate to contact the
Planning Service to talk through the
requirements with us. Alternatively you could call our Legal
Agreements Manager, John Farrow, on 01255 686109
