The Section 106 Audit Gap:
Identifying Hidden Equity
Developers often view S106 contributions as a "sunk cost." However, statutory deeds contain mandatory repayment clauses. If the Local Authority fails to spend the contribution on the specific project agreed within the timeframe (usually 5-10 years), those funds legally expire.
Our Planning Audit Desk bridges the information gap between Council Infrastructure Funding Statements (IFS) and developer ledgers. We use surgical FOI requests to verify contractual commitment dates, bypassing vague council "allocations."
The Recovery Roadmap
- Phase 1: The Lockdown - Exclusive strategic mandate secured before revealing project-specific audit findings.
- Phase 2: Surgical FOI - Demanding current balances and contractual commitment logs from the Council's Information Officer.
- Phase 3: Formal Notice - Issuing formal "Notice of Claim" to the Section 151 Officer citing the Beazer Homes precedent.
- Phase 4: BACS Settlement - Capital return directly to the developer ledger plus statutory interest.
