Decision details

RESOLVED:

(1)       That the contents of the report titled Section 106 and Unilateral Undertakings be noted;

(2)       That a report shall continue to be presented to this Committee on an annual basis; and

(3)       That, other than where a contribution had been negotiated for a specific purpose or project, Ward Members of the area where the Section 106 Obligation or Unilateral Undertaking funding was generated and the Area Committee be consulted prior to funding being allocated away from that area or a village location to a town.  Members noted that the discretionary funds were rapidly diminishing and would not be replaced under current legislation and practice, as was set out in the report.

REASON FOR DECISION: To ensure that there is a robust system for negotiating and managing Section 106 and Unilateral Undertakings, and to ensure that this was kept under constant review in order that this activity is managed in an appropriate manner.
