The Commons Library has published a briefing on progress on implementing the provisions of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 (HPA 2016). A number of the Act’s planning measures are in force, including those relating to neighbourhood and local planning and permission in principle and local registers of land. The HPA 2016 allows the Secretary of State to impose restrictions on planning obligations (section 106 agreements) but these measures are not yet in force. The Community Infrastructure Levy Review Team has made some recommendations about how the Government could better use section 106 agreements. Most of the compulsory purchase measures in Part 7 of the Act are in force, but not those concerning disputes and compensation.
