The Section106 agreement should require either:

i)    the provision of a minimum of 58 affordable residential units on a site or sites within the Borough (including sites in the Council’s ownership)

ii)   the provision of a financial contribution equivalent to 58 affordable units, to be used to deliver a net increase in affordable housing on Council owned development sites; or

iii)           delivery of 58 affordable units on site.

 

Negotiations and an agreement to deliver obligations (i) or (ii) to be completed within 6 months from this resolution using reasonable endeavours on the part of Berkeley Homes and the Council.  Inability to reach an agreement will revert to the on-site delivery of affordable housing.
