A resolution to grant is not a permission: where a section 106 has to be signed the notice waits for the deed. In Richmond Upon Thames that wait has a median of 86 days with a s106 against 5 without — carried as finance and cost-inflation risk after the politics is done. From 94 committee approvals matched to their decision record.

Committee minutes matched to the canonical record by reference; lag = decision date − committee date for approved items; "with a s106" = deed on file or a legal agreement cited in the decision. Where the council dates the decision at the committee itself, the true wait is longer than shown. London-wide comparison on What You Pay to Build.
