# UK housing developers' Section 106 disputes > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/uk-housing-developers-section-106-disputes > Updated: 2026-08-07T04:11:29.000Z. Sources: 8. Developments: 2. In late July, a developer in Cornwall, Wainhomes South West, asked to remove or cut a £348,798 Section 106 contribution that funded a new primary school, health and transport facilities for a 58‑home scheme. The same period saw the Berkeley Group promote a private‑school‑fee incentive for buyers of luxury homes in north London, highlighting market stagnation. By early August, the issue had attracted political scrutiny. MP Ben Maguire cited the Wainhomes case in his "Infrastructure First" bill, urging Cornwall Council to retain the funding. Simultaneously, residents and councillors in Swindon complained that developers Redrow and Vistry left flood‑management, park safety and landscaping works unfinished, creating a near £200,000 shortfall. Calls grew for stronger redress mechanisms for homebuyers, signalling broader backlash against developers seeking to sidestep infrastructure obligations. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-07: UK housing developers face backlash over unpaid infrastructure commitments MP Ben Maguire attacks Wainhomes over a £348k infrastructure payment in Bodmin, while Swindon residents blame Redrow and Vistry for unfinished works and potential cost transfers. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/uk-housing-developers-face-backlash-over-unpaid-infrastructure-commitments ### 2026-07-29: UK developers push for reduced infrastructure levies and private school fee incentives UK developers Wainhomes seeks to drop £350k infrastructure payments in Cornwall, while Berkeley Group offers £40k private‑school fees to attract buyers in north London. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/uk-developers-push-for-reduced-infrastructure-levies-and-private-school-fee-incentives --- Cite as: UK housing developers' Section 106 disputes.
