Milestone 5 of 7 Planning permission for new development

Understand your obligations

Larger schemes can carry Section 106 obligations, Community Infrastructure Levy and biodiversity net gain.

Depending on the scale of your development, you may need to meet obligations beyond the permission itself. These include Section 106 agreements, Community Infrastructure Levy and biodiversity net gain. Start talking about any Section 106 agreement while the application is being decided, so it does not hold up the decision notice.
