Decision details

The report is to seek approval for the allocation of resources secured through a Section 106 planning obligation to fund the installation of new play equipment and enhanced landscaping improvements to the playscape at Incline Road.

RESOLVED - That:
To approve the allocation of £14,790.35 section 106 resources from DB 301 - Land at Byron Street, Hollinwood. (PA/57174) to Environmental Services for the purposes of the installation of new play equipment and enhanced landscaping improvements to the play scape at Incline Road.

Option 1 - To allocate £14,790.35 funding from DB301 towards the scheme and comply with the obligation within the S106 agreement. This is the preferred option.
Option 2 - Do nothing - do not allocate the Section 106 funding from DB301, and do not go ahead with the scheme. This will mean that the requirement of the Section 106 agreement to use the funding for the improvement of Incline Road play space will not be met, and that the funding may be returned to the developer.

Option 2

Consultation was carried out as part of the planning process prior to the approval of the development. This process resulted in the requirement for the developer to enter into a S106 agreement and to pay a commuted sum for improvements to nearby public open space, and this specifically included the play space at Incline Road.
