Part 5: Community Land Auction Pilots Community land auction arrangements Section 141: Community land auction arrangements and their purpose Background
Section 141 is a new power which provides for the introduction of Community Land Auction ("CLA") arrangements. This makes temporary provision enabling CLA pilots to be run. The local planning authority (LPA) will invite landowners to grant options over land in the area of a participating LPA, with a view to the land being allocated for development in the next local plan for the authority’s area.
	The LPA may exercise or sell the option, capturing some of the increased value that will result from allocation of the land for development, which can then be used to support development of the area. CLA arrangements seek to improve land value capture for the benefit of local communities and potentially increase land supply when LPAs prepare their new local plan.
	This section confers certain regulation making powers and also contains key definitions of "CLA regulations", "community land auction arrangement", and "CLA option".
