Planning performance agreements are voluntary undertakings that enable local planning authorities and applicants for planning permission to agree timescales, actions and resources necessary for the application. They are not intended to be a legally binding contract, but are intended to be agreed in the spirit of a ‘memorandum of understanding’.

They must be agreed before an application is submitted, and can cover the pre-application, application and post-application stages and can be helpful in:
*Encouraging collaborative working between the applicant, the local planning authority, and third parties (where appropriate, third parties such as statutory consultees may be a party to the agreement).
*Establish a transparent process for determining applications.
*Acting as focus for pre-application discussions.

They can be used for any application, but are particularly suited to large or complex applications. The structure of the agreement is determined by the local planning authority and the applicant, but depending on the complexity of the project may include:
*The status of the agreement.
*A shared vision.
*An agreed timetable.
*Development objectives.
*Responsibility for tasks.
*A programme for the negotiation of section 106 agreements and related non-planning consents.
*Voluntary contributions the applicant has offered to pay to assist with abnormal costs of processing the application.

Local planning authorities may charge for additional administrative work involved in the planning performance agreement.

The existence of a planning performance agreement means that the statutory time limits for determining the application no longer apply. If an authority fails to determine the application by the agreed date, then the applicant may appeal, however, important the agreement should be sufficiently flexible to allow for changes in circumstances.

The parties to the agreement are encouraged to make it publicly available.
