Decision details

To allocate S106 resources to the Tudor Street public open space scheme. This will be as match funding to resources already allocated by the West Oldham District Executive towards this scheme.

RESOLVED - That:
To allocate £ 4276.10 resources (including interest) secured through Section 106 planning obligations from DB 360 - Land at Jamiat-Ale-Hadees Mosque (PA/330749) to Environmental Services to fund improvements to Tudor Street public open space by creating a new path, seating area and associated landscaping (sensory garden)

Option 1 - 1.Do nothing: To do nothing would mean that the requirement of the S106 to make improvements to existing public open space in the area will not be met. This scheme has been developed in consultation with the District Executive and local councillors in order to benefit the local community, and not using the S106 funding would result in the scheme not going ahead as planned.
Option 2.To allocate £4,276.10 S106 to the scheme to make improvements to the Tudor Street public open space as additional resources to complete the scheme envisaged by local members. This is the preferred option.

option 1

The West Oldham District Executive have been involved in the development of this scheme and have supported the proposal by allocating funds from their capital and councillor budget.
