Enquire about local occupancy and section 106

Fill out an online form to make your request.

A local occupancy clause in a Section 106 agreement is a restriction that limits who can occupy a new home to people with a local connection.

A Section 106 agreement is a legally binding contract between a local planning authority and a developer or landowner. It's usually required to reduce the impact a development has on the local area. Some other restrictions that may be included in a Section 106 agreement are:

  • requiring the developer to provide affordable housing
  • limiting who can live in a house
  • limiting who can buy a house
  • limiting how a house can be marketed

The agreement is enforceable against the original person who signed it and any future owners of the property.
