Decision details

To seek approval for the allocation of resources secured through Section 106 planning obligations to fund the planting of 3 x extra heavy standard Oak trees in Delph.

RESOLVED - That:
To allocate £902.37 (including interest) to purchasing and planting 3 x extra heavy Oak trees on the Council open space at Denshaw Road, Delph

Option 1 - Do nothing: this is not a viable option as the S106 obligation is a legal agreement with the developer to secure the planting of replacement Oak trees in Delph. By doing nothing, the Council would not be fulfilling their part of the agreement and must return the money to the developer.
option 2 - There are limited Council owned sites within Delph, and the area of public open space at Denshaw Road is the best location to plant 3 extra heavy standard Oak trees. There is plenty of room for the trees to grow and complement the existing green space and play area. This is the preferred option.

option 1 - do nothing

Consultation was undertaken as part of the planning application process for the development at the Church. This resulted in the requirement for the contribution to replace 3 oak trees on Council land within the Delph area.
