Planning Strategy, S106 and CIL

Local plans, pre-apps and getting permission granted

In ground-up development, planning is the decision that makes or breaks the whole project, and this book gives you a working knowledge of it. It explains the development plan and policy framework, use classes and where decisions are actually made, then how to choose the right application, use pre-application advice, assemble a submission and respond when the answer is no. You will see what a Section 106 agreement is, what it typically contains and how viability affects negotiation, and how conditions, amendments and environmental and safety duties shape a permission once granted. The book explains the Community Infrastructure Levy and how developers lose money by getting its process wrong, why development is usually taxed as a trade, and why to choose your structure before you buy. A checklist runs from first sight of a site to a lawful start, and the final chapter sets out what getting planning wrong costs. Next in this series: “Delivering a Scheme”.
