Merger of s 106

[edit]

I propose that s 106 be merged here and Section 106 agreement be redirected here instead of to Town and Country Planning Act 1990#Section 106. – Fayenatic (talk) 14:39, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Planning gain. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Major revision / Suggest renaming

[edit]

I have made significant edits to the page, including a number of cuts. In this I have aimed to address a few issues:

  • Bias: the existing article was principally about criticisms of the policy, which not justified given it is 30-years-old and hardly controversial
  • Out-of-date: the existing article was out-of-date in a number of areas (e.g. referring to MHCLG as DCLG) and included a lot of content about debates which took place between 2008-2010, which again is not justified
  • Unclear: in terms of overall clarity, the article was not written for a general audience. It also did not contextualise this issue as a UK-specific policy subject.

In all these areas, I have principally concentrated on removing errors, rather than writing new content - and I think there is a lot of work still to be done. In particular, a section on 'S106 history' and 'S106 details' (including exemptions) would be useful. Any help welcome.

Finally, I think this article is misnamed. "Planning obligation" is much more accurate and is more widely used. Including by the UK Gov (see refs): [1] [2] [3] benjamin180 17:24, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
