Allocated and Unallocated S106 contributions

As set out in the national guidance and for the purpose of this report, “allocated” means a decision has been made by the Council to commit funds to a specific item of infrastructure or project. For most S106 agreements, this decision has been made at the planning application stage with each infrastructure or project requirement specified within the legal agreement.

It is however important to note that “unallocated” money still sets out which overall infrastructure type it applies to (for example whether it’s for sports or education) and will still be bound by the terms of the S106 legal agreement. As a minimum it will be required to be spent on the infrastructure type specified within the agreement, it is just that a specific project within that category has not yet been decided.

Table 1 provides a summary S106 contributions retained, received, spent and closing balance during 2024 to 2025, broken down between ‘allocated’ and ‘unallocated’ funds. Although the data below can be found in the Income dashboard in Chapter 1, this table summarises the balance of funds at the end of the 2024 to 2025 period, which is not currently available in the dashboard, but can be found on S106 2024-2025 transactions and future income spreadsheet
