Question
Re: Looking at the use of Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and its use in the provision of affordable housing. Please may you provide me with data per annum on the following questions: What is the unit count of affordable housing that has been developed, or is currently being developed by the council in the last 5 years. How many social homes/ developments in the last 5 years were agreed with and under Section 106, in order to mitigate the impact of the developments upon surrounding communities? How many of these social homes delivered under Section 106 are currently unoccupied with no buyer? Are there any Section 106 building sites currently delayed due to uncontracted units, and if so, how many? I would like this information to be provided in this format: Annual breakdown of figures for each year up to 2025: 2020: 2021: 2022: 2023: 2024:
