Section 106 Community Funding - Dunstable
Under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, contributions can be sought from developers towards the costs of specifically providing community and social infrastructure, if the need has arisen as a result of a new development taking place.
This funding is known as Section 106 (S106) community facilities funding, and it can be used to develop and / or improve village halls or community centres. This could be an extension, new kitchen or toilet facilities, installation of a hearing loop or other improvements. Routine maintenance such as painting and decorating is not generally supported.
Working with the Dunstable Joint Committee all available S106 funding has been used on small community grants schemes and there are no funds remaining.
