South Oxfordshire District Council

Section 106 funding for local projects (South Oxfordshire)

South Oxfordshire District Council passes Section 106 money paid by developers to local capital projects, working with town and parish councils. Money is tied to each S106 agreement's location and spending criteria, so groups first check what has been received for their parish. Applications are by form at any time, with the support of the parish or town council; allow at least three months for a decision.
