Section 106 Planning Powers

EDM number 1771 in 2005-06, proposed by David Drew on 08/03/2006.

That this House welcomes the Government's intention to retain section 106 planning powers, which allow local authorities to secure affordable housing as part of private housing developments; notes that this is the primary mechanism by which local authorities can ensure that new developments contain an appropriate mix of property types, from luxury houses to affordable rented homes; recognises that the new Planning Gain Supplement can provide funding but not land for affordable housing; is concerned that without the ability to secure land, affordable homes will be pushed to the outskirts and unpopular areas of developing towns; is further concerned that many villages will lose any opportunity to secure land for much-needed affordable homes; and calls on the Deputy Prime Minister and his team to ensure that proposals for a scaled-back, statutory section 106 to deliver affordable housing are not lost during the consultation and subsequent legislation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 66 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
