Decision:
RESOLVED - That: to allocate Section 106
resources from DB 432 (PA/343302) Land at rear of Dog
Reasons for the decision:
As detailed in the report .
Option 1 -
Allocate the S106 resources in accordance with the terms of the
S106 obligations and award installation contract to the winning
tenderer. This will allow the playspace and wider park to be
revitalised and brought up to a good standard for the residents of
Woodhouses.
Option 2 - Leave the playspace and wider park without the S106
investment and continue to monitor the existing equipment and
remove when further degradation occurs, alternative funds would
need to be found to improve and replace the play provision. This
would mean that the obligations with the S106 would not be met and
that the contributions may need to be returned to the
developer.
