The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-21459 by Malcolm Chisholm on 19 December 2005, whether planning gain supplement will be implemented in Scotland on the basis of a scaling-back of the scope of planning obligations under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

The answer

Answered by Malcolm Chisholm on 9 Mar 2006 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

As part of the UK Government’sconsultation paper on planning gain supplement, the Office of the Deputy PrimeMinister has indicated that it will introduce regulations to scale back the scopeof planning obligations in England under section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act1990. The decision whether to adopt a similar approach to planning agreements andfuture obligations under section 75 of the Town and Country Planning Act (Scotland) 1997is a devolved matter. We have not come to any conclusion on this, and will do soin the light of the consultation responses and further discussions with the UK Governmenton how planning gain supplement will be designed and implemented.
