1. INTRODUCTION 
Welcome to Uttlesford District Council’s Infrastructure Funding 
Statement 2019/2020. 
The Statement sets out income and expenditure relating to contributions secured 
with S.106 Agreements on developments throughout the Uttlesford District. 
Councils are now required to produce an Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) on an annual basis and 
this document is the first IFS for Uttlesford District Council. 
S.106 agreements are used to mitigate the impacts of development and ensure that Uttlesford District 
Council’s planning policy requirements are fully met. 
Planning obligations or ‘developer contributions’ are used to help fund: 
• 
The provision of, or improvements to, open space provision and affordable housing contributions 
accepted in lieu of on-site provision; 
• 
Provision of on-site affordable housing; and 
• 
Non-financial obligations, including requirements such as travel plans 
The information included in this statement will be updated annually and published on the Council’s 
website. 
The statements does not include information on open space provision delivered on-site as part 
of new development in the District. 
The data on contributions is imperfect as it represents estimates at a given point in time and can be 
subject to change. However it is the most robust available at the time of publication.

4. OUR PROCESSES 
The Planning Application : 
S.106 Agreements are a mechanism that makes a development proposal, that would not otherwise be, 
acceptable in planning terms. 
The tests for when a S.106 Agreement can be used, are: 
a) necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms 
b) directly related to the development; and 
c) fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development. 
Once signed, the S.106 Agreement is binding on successive owners of the land. 
The Obligations: 
Details of the obligations, and the point at which they become due, are detailed within the Agreement. 
This may, for example, be on commencement of development or after a certain number, or percentage, 
of properties are built or sold. 
Collection of Monies Due: 
Where the obligation is financial, the amount due will be calculated and the developer invoiced. 
The 
sum due is index linked and given a specific budget code to allow us to monitor spend and balance.

5.Affordable Housing
The Strategic Housing Market Assessment for the district published in September 2015 and updated in July 
2017 concluded that there is a requirement for the Council to deliver 568 homes per annum, of which 127 
should be affordable homes. 
However, research as part of the emerging Local Plan 2020-2040 indicates that a figure of c700 new homes 
per annum will be required.52 new affordable homes were delivered via S106 Agreements within the 
Uttlesford district in 2019/20.This consisted of 35 new homes for affordable rent and 17 for shared 
ownership. 
Affordable Housing 
A S106 Agreement will normally require that the developer delivers a proportion of new homes as affordable 
housing or that a financial contribution is made in lieu of on-site provision. 
Homes provided on site are normally made available to one of the Council’s Registered Provider partners or 
occasionally to the Council. 
On-site provision of affordable housing is the preference but on occasions a payment in lieu of on-site 
provision is secured. 
At 31/3/20 the Council had £456,000 of financial contributions in lieu of on-site provision of affordable 
housing which will be used to fund new Council homes within the Uttlesford district.

Requests to Spend: 
Some S.106 Agreements contain specific covenants that details where the monies must be spent or 
provision of housing, located. 
For open space monies, Town & Parish Councils are able to utilise S.106 contributions for the provision 
or upgrade of open space and play areas in accordance with Council policy. 
When a request is received from the Town or Parish Council, it is checked to ensure it meets the 
appropriate criteria before being agreed. 
Town & Parish Councils have been able to install new play equipment, benches, gardens and sports areas 
for the enjoyment of residents across the District. 
Once a payment has been made, the financial database is updated to show the amount now available to 
spend.
