Section 106 Management Fee

Introduction of a section 106 Management Fee

Government circular 05/05 and the consultation document, a New Policy Document for Planning Obligations requires agreements to be managed. Management is essential to ensure that S106 agreements are delivered, and that the development is, therefore, acceptable in planning terms.

Following the Portfolio decision by the Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Improving Localities and confirmation of the decision by Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 4 October 2010, the following management fees will be charged on S106 agreements signed for applications received on and after 1st October 2010:

• 5% of the total value of financial contributions
• A fixed charge to manage non-monetary obligations of £350 per head of term
• A separate one-off fee of £250 will be charged for a deed of variation

The revenue generated from this fee will be used for S106 administration, monitoring and management purposes only.

The fee will be reviewed and if necessary amended on 1 April 2011 and every 12 months thereafter as part of the annual review of fees.
