Arun, like most other councils in the country,
is currently having to deal with huge issues around the delivery of
affordable housing on sites as part of the requirements of section
106 agreements.
We are getting an increasing number of developers coming to us
because they have been unable to dispose of affordable units to
Registered Providers (RP’s). This because of recent changes
to how RP’s access grant funding.
In the face of an increasing number of discussions and formal
proposals to amend s106 agreements, the council are seeking to
produce a framework document to be used in progressing these
discussions and determining these applications on the basis that
developers are getting no interest from RPs and are unable to
dispose of these units to RP’s. This framework will ensure
that discussions can be progressed with a degree of
certainty.
