The commission will initially focus on standardised templates and obligations for scales of development that fall within the government\u2019s proposed medium sized category i.e. 10 to 49 homes. The commission is aimed at delivering practical tools built for LPAs that will:\nReduce the time taken to complete S106 agreements;\nGive officers and legal teams\u202fclear, consistent wording\u202fthey can use immediately;\nSupport\u202fearlier and more transparent conversations\u202fwith applicants; and\nImprove confidence that obligations are\u202flegally sound\u202fand\u202fconsistently applied across the sector.\nThe outputs will be designed to meet the needs of LPAs, while also providing the clarity and consistency developers and their legal representatives need to approach negotiations with confidence",
