Is there a fee for this service?
This covers the checking of one legal agreement and compliance checks on up to a maximum of two obligations to the (Mid Devon) District Council. Please note that we do not monitor obligations to the County Council; you are advised to contact Devon County Council directly to check compliance with such obligations.
Where there are more than two obligations to the District Council you will have the option to proceed with a full compliance check. There is a further fee per additional obligation that requires checking.
Compliance checks may include, where relevant, the review of eligibility requirements contained within a Section 106 Agreement. Examples may include local connection, affordability and other eligibility criteria relating to the occupation or disposal of affordable housing.
The applicable compliance check fee will be charged in accordance with the Council's adopted Fees and Charges Schedule.
The fees are reviewed and updated annually.
How to pay
Following confirmation that you wish to proceed with an initial or full compliance check (subject to receipt of the information above), you will be provided with a unique reference number for the purposes of making payment and details of how to pay.
Timescales for responses
We aim to provide a response within 10 working days from receipt of payment. Occasionally this may take longer if further information from a third party is required.
