10
Introduce a statutory Section 106 dispute resolution scheme for housing development.
Recommendation
The Government should introduce a statutory Section 106 dispute resolution scheme, under the provisions of the Housing and Planning Act 2016. If the Government does not intend to pursue this, it should set out a detailed explanation as to why the Ministry has chosen not to implement the provision legislated for by Parliament in the 2016 Act. This should include setting out any specific technical or legal barriers to implementation which the Ministry has identified. (Recommendation, Paragraph 55) Viability assessments
