Planning Legal Agreements
Planning legal agreements
If a planning development is considered to be generally acceptable but may have some adverse impacts we may try to offset those impacts by requiring the developer to carry out works or activities or provide facilities, either on or off site, or to fund the provision of these things.
In addition to mitigating the impacts of a development these works/activities may also provide some benefit to the local community, and could include affordable housing; community meeting; sports and leisure facilities; highways and street works.
This is done by entering into a legal agreement, commonly known as a Section 106, between us and the developer.
The negotiation of individual agreements will be carried out by the development control teams.
The contact officer at Fylde, who monitors these agreements is Karen Hodgkiss, Corporate Property Officer, tel. 01253 658515, email karenh@fylde.gov.uk.
Electronic copies of legal agreements can be found by searching for the relevant planning application on the planning application search page, or by following the link on the right.
Agreements will only be displayed once they have been signed by both parties. If you cannot find the legal agreement and want more information please contact the planning officer whose name will be held with the application details.
