Purpose
Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 allows a local planning authority (LPA) to enter into a legally binding agreement with a landowner in association with granting the planning permission. Planning Practise Guidance permits the charging of monitoring fees to allow the LPA to resource the compliance with the legal agreement. This Guidance Note sets out SDC's policy position for these monitoring fee charges, so that the fees may continue to be charged by the council.
