An agreement under S106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is in place for the 15 flats. The agreement commits the developer to provide the accommodation as affordable housing for a period of no less than 25 years from the completion of the units, or until the council can be satisfied that all reasonable endeavours have been made to dispose of the units as affordable housing.
It has not been demonstrated to the council that all reasonable endeavours have been made to dispose of the units as affordable housing; therefore the provisions of the agreement continue to apply.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
