Confirm consideration of proposals in relation to community benefits

Confirm community benefits consideration

Full Recommendation Text

The Government should legislate to confirm the provision of community benefits is a material consideration in planning decisions. This will require primary legislation given the existing case law on the consideration of community benefits.

MHCLG should issue clearer guidance on what matters are to be included as part of community benefits, and which should be excluded from section 106 agreement.
