Section 106 (S106) funds
Kensington and Chelsea Council plans to unlock Section 106 funds for cultural initiatives.
Kensington and Chelsea Council is planning to unlock Section 106 (S106) funds from developers to support cultural initiatives, which are contributions for community benefits as part of planning approvals. This objective is part of the borough's new Culture Plan for 2026-2030, formally adopted by the Leadership Team in July 2026. The plan aims to foster a vibrant cultural landscape and align with council priorities for amazing spaces and resilient communities.
Section 106 funds are legal agreements between local authorities and developers, requiring developers to make contributions to the community. These contributions can include providing affordable housing, infrastructure, or other public benefits. The use of these funds is typically tied to specific planning permissions and aims to mitigate the impact of new developments.
