Planning legal agreements
If a planning development is considered to be generally acceptable but may have some adverse impacts we may try to offset those impacts by requiring the developer to carry out works or activities or provide facilities, either on or off site, or to fund the provision of these things.
In addition to mitigating the impacts of a development these works/activities may also provide some benefit to the local community, and could include affordable housing; community meeting; sports and leisure facilities; highways and street works; the requirement for local procurement of goods and services and employment and training.
This is done by entering into a legal agreement, commonly known as a Section 106, between us and the developer. These benefits help us to achieve the aims of our planning policies.
The negotiation of individual agreements will be carried out by the major developments and development control teams. You can find an explanation of the nature and type of planning obligations we may require in the Camden Planning Guidance.
We have a dedicated officer in the site development team who monitors the implementation of legal agreements, maintains a record of them and is a point of contact with developers who have entered into agreements with us.
Electronic copies of legal agreements can be found by searching for the relevant planning application on the planning application search page
Agreements will only be displayed once they have been signed by both parties. If you cannot find the legal agreement and want more information please contact the planning officer whose name will be held with the application details.
