Local searches
We receive enquiries about planning obligations as part of local searches on behalf of purchasers buying property that is part of a development. If the development is subject to a Section 106 (s106) agreement or unilateral undertaking there will be obligations in our favour. S106 agreements or unilateral undertakings should include a clause to exempt individual residential occupiers in respect of compliance with our planning obligations.
If there is no clause we will not enforce against an individual residential occupier / purchaser if there is a breach of a planning obligation.
