Planning Obligations

A planning obligation is a legal agreement regarding the use or development of land and generally entered into between the Local Planning Authority and applicant and any others that may have an interest in the land.

The purpose of this guide - Planning Obligations - September 2005 - is to:

• explain the use of planning obligations and procedure for their
  completion;
• provide clarity and transparency to applicants, developers and the general
  public in the administration of planning obligations; and
• set out clearly the systems for accountability and monitoring of planning
  obligations.
