The provision of Discounted Sale properties and the restrictions on their sales are secured through Section 106 planning obligations with housing developers. A Section 106 planning obligation is a legal document used to, among other things, set out the procedures which must be followed during the sale of a discounted sale property. If anyone buys a discounted sale property in breach of the 106-planning obligation the council can enforce the terms of the agreement by way of an injunction.
