The purpose of this circular is to provide guidance on the use of planning obligations in England under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as substituted by the Planning and Compensation Act 1991.
Planning obligations (or 's106 agreements') are private agreements negotiated, usually in the context of planning applications, between local planning authorities and persons with an interest in a piece of land, and intended to make acceptable development which would otherwise be unacceptable in planning terms. Obligations can also be secured through unilateral undertakings by developers.
This circular replaces Circular 01/97: Planning Obligations, which is hereby cancelled.
Note: The above publication was issued by our former department, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). ODPM became Communities and Local Government (DCLG) on 5 May 2006 - all references in the text to ODPM now refer to Communities and Local Government.
