Minutes:
The Committee considered a report of the Head of Strategic Planning (Item 6 in the Minute Book), seeking an extension of time for the satisfactory completion of a Section 106 agreement.
The officer introduced the item and the background to the authorisation of the Section 106 agreement at Regulatory Committee in June 2019 was clarified for Members. It was confirmed although six months had proven to be insufficient time to complete the agreement, work was progressing well and moving forward and Members were asked to consider the extension until 30 June 2020.
It was heard that officers would consider the wording of recommendations for Section 106 Agreements in future, to try to avoid coming back to Committee.
During questions of the officer, the following points were clarified:
· That timescales for completion of Section 106 Agreements looked to encourage applicants to complete in a timely manner, but officers would examine ways to ensure the balance was right.
· Ecology issues had added to the complexity in finalising the agreement.
· That in this instance, there would be no material change in circumstances, to warrant reaching a different decision.
· That officers were confident that completion of the Section 106 Agreement would be achieved in the period of time requested of Members.
RESOLVED:
That an extension of time until 30 June 2020 was agreed for the satisfactory completion of the Section 106 Agreement to secure Ecological Protection and Restoration of the site, a revised Repair and Maintenance Scheme for Watery Lane (Byway Open to All Traffic (BOAT number 737) and a permissive path and that authority was delegated to the Director of Economy, Transport and Environment to grant permission in all other respects in accordance with the resolution made at the meeting held on 19 June 2019.
