Guidance for submitting details relating to a Section 106 agreement 

S106 agreements commonly require the developer/owner to submit information to the council which usually falls within the following two categories:

  • Notices
  • Details to be assessed and approved by the Council

Submission of notices

Various notices relating to the progress of development must be served by the developer/owner on the Council.

Common triggers requiring the submission of a notice include:

  • Implementation
  • Practical Completion
  • Occupation
  • Allocation of new addresses (in relation to parking permit restrictions)

Submit all notices to the S106/CIL team email: s106@lambeth.gov.uk.

Submission of details for approval

Section 106 agreements often require the submission of a broad range of details for council’s review and approval.

Examples of such details include:

  • Evidence relating to car club and cycle hire memberships
  • Employment and Skills Plans
  • Affordable Housing details, viability reviews
  • Carbon offset reports

Submit applications to approve details required by a S106 agreement to the Development Infrastructure team: planninginfrastructure@lambeth.gov.uk.
