Your move - 2004 - Inside Housing 21(1) 9 January 2004, 22(1) .

Takes stock of the government's proposed reform of planning obligations (s106 agreements) and suggests that the new optional planning charge concept could work if it is sophisticated enough to secure the correct level of contribution for each development, if any cash payments are ring-fenced for defined purposes and if developers are required to provide affordable housing in kind, on site. Concludes that, however s106 is reformed, the affordable housing it delivers will continue to be reliant on the private sector and that developers may bypass the optional charge and remain with the proposed, improved negotiation process
