Part 6: Planning in England Planning obligations Section 158: Resolution of disputes about planning obligations
Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 enables someone with an interest in land to enter into a planning obligation enforceable by the local planning authority. Such obligations are usually entered into in conjunction with an application for planning permission. The negotiation of such obligations can become protracted. This section inserts a new section and Schedule into the 1990 Act to introduce new procedures aimed at resolving issues connected with the negotiation of such obligations.
