First Homes – Interim Position Statement

6.1 The council, in drafting Section 106 Agreements for planning decisions on First Homes, will take into account the Government’s model Section 106 agreement for First Homes published on 23 December 2021.

6.2 The council’s Section 106 Agreement will set out all the obligations on the applicant for a First Home planning permission and future purchasers of the home (s). These obligations may cover clustering, development construction standards, arrangements for marketing and sale, the use and occupancy of the property including letting or subletting and any mortgagee exclusions.

6.3 The council will monitor the delivery of First Homes in the Buckinghamshire Council area and use where necessary its powers to enforce the obligations and other parts of a planning decision so that the rules of qualification of a First Home and the full terms of the planning permission are being adhered to.
