We’re pleased to announce the publication of a suggested draft template Section 106 agreement for small and medium‑sized residential developments, alongside practical recommendations to simplify and speed up the process.

Why does this matter?
Section 106 agreements are vital for securing commitments to the delivery or funding of affordable housing and infrastructure, but the process can be complex and time‑consuming, disproportionately so in the case of smaller scale development. Our template aims to provide a clear, balanced starting point that reduces delays and unnecessary cost, both on the part of applicants and local authorities.
