These may include:
-
• Affordable housing contributions

• Occupancy restrictions
• Phased delivery requirements
Common challenges include:
-
• The commercial viability of your project arising even after grant of permission
• Disputes over trigger points for payments
• Applications to modify or discharge obligations under section 106A
