When developers build new houses, the development has an impact on the local community. Growth in the local population might lead to greater pressure on social or sports facilities; or an increase in traffic. Section 106 Agreements and the Community Infrastructure Levy can be used by the City Council to require developers to pay for projects to help manage the impact of developments These agreements are negotiated between the City Council and the developer. Under the Government’s National Policy Planning Framework (NPPF), which sets out the Government’s planning policies and how they should be delivered, the City Council can only ask for funds for projects which meet the ‘three tests’: the project is necessary to make the development acceptable in Planning terms it is directly related to the development; and it is fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development The Liberal Party would like to see section 106 funds be extended from community facilities and road improvements into supporting renewable energy generation, and other environmental projects to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve air quality.
