Proposals to Overhaul Section 106s Unveiled

Planning minister Brandon Lewis has proposed new measures to speed up section 106 agreements including the creation of a dispute resolution service involving an external body or a “suitably qualified individual’. The minister is consulting on plans to speed up the s106 process so applications can be decided more quickly and ensuring work starts sooner on site. In terms of dispute resolution the Government is interested in views on an automatic or “deemed” regime as well as one involving a service with charges, one which is not part of the conventional appeals system.  Access the consultation on the GovUK website.
