Developer contributions

For our strategic policy on developer contributions, see Policy CS8 (and supporting text) in our Core Strategy Development Plan Document.

We've adopted a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) that places a levy on new developments in Rutland towards meeting the cost of infrastructure.

Section 106 Agreements

Developers enter into these agreements under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act (1990), to make their development acceptable.

They’re mainly related to affordable houses and exceptional cases where site specific physical infrastructure, community facilities or services are essential to make the proposed development acceptable.

Section 106 planning obligations

Planning obligations in S106 agreements run with the land they’re related to. If the land is sold, any outstanding obligations will be transferred with it - this can affect the land’s value.

This information is registered as a Local Land Charge and will be revealed in searches.

Any outstanding planning obligations are legally enforceable against the registered owner - this applies to successors in title of the land the obligation relates to. We will enforce against non-payment of a S106 contribution if a developer is reaches a trigger point without paying us within the required timescales.

Planning obligations will not normally be enforceable against individual units within larger development sites. This is not to say that S106 obligations will not impact on your property - for example if an open space management company does not maintain the open spaces and play areas as set out in the agreement.

You can find S106 agreements and unilateral undertakings on the Planning Portal – they’re under the documents tab in an application.
