Section 106 agreements (in brief)

A section 106 agreement is an agreement between a developer and a local planning authority about measures that the developer must take to reduce their impact on the community. A section 106 agreement is designed to make a development possible that would otherwise not be possible, by obtaining concessions and contributions from the developer. It forms a section of the Town And Country Planning Act 1990.

Desborough section 106 agreements.

Local residents ask ‘What has the town gained from Section 106 agreements as the town expanded over recent years? It is a difficult question and the simple answer seems to be ‘Not much?

The Conservatives controlled the planning authority (Kettering Borough Council  2003 – 2021, North Northants Council 2021 to date, and Desborough Town Council 2003 – 2018), Things that we thought were agreed didn’t happen (like the bridge over the railway line from the Grange to the town centre).
