2Methodology and Assumptions2 Methodology and Assumptions2.1 Some assumptions have been made in the preparation of this review:Every section 106 agreement is different. In order to produce a useful summaryof the agreements, various types of broadly similar contributions are groupedtogether.Where affordable housing requirements are expressed as a percentage in theagreement, the number of affordable housing units is calculated based on thenumber of units proposed.Outline planning permissions do not generally indicate the final quantum ofdevelopment.
