Section 106 Report Summary
1.1 The Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) (England) (No.2) Regulations 2019 require local authorities that receive contributions from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) or enter into section 106 planning obligations with developers to publish an infrastructure funding statement annually.
1.2 This statement will be produced annually by end of December each year, covering the financial year ending in the preceding March. The Lake District National Park Authority has not adopted a Community Infrastructure Levy. Developer contributions in the Lake District National Park are collected through Section 106 agreements. This statement provides information on the total revenue we received from developer contributions in 2019/20 along with the contributions we spent or allocated for spend, and the amounts we retained for future expenditure.
1.3 This summary report should be read in conjunction with the developer agreements contributions spreadsheet (csv) file which can be viewed on our website. Throughout the IFS there will be references to the following definitions:

2.1 A Section 106 Agreement is a legal agreement made under the provisions of Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, which sets out the requirements the planning authority and the applicant have agreed to. New housing and other developments impact on all our infrastructure, such as our schools, roads, health facilities and recreational space, and it is appropriate that developers can be required to help fund the new or improved infrastructure we will need because of it. The Authority uses Section 106 Agreements to secure a monetary contribution to finance infrastructure improvements, and to secure the on-site provision of local affordable housing.
