Part 11 Information about dealings in land Section 221: The contractual control purpose Background
This section sets out the second ‘permitted purpose’ – the contractual control purpose – and defines the relevant terms and concepts.
	The Government anticipates using this power to improve the transparency of arrangements, in particular those arrangements used within the development context, to control land short of ownership. This will allow it to meet the 2017 housing white paper commitment to publish data on options and other arrangements used by developers and others to exercise control over land, short of ownership.
