Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To commit £50,000 of S106 funds to improve the capacity of the Binfield Parish Office.

Decision:

That £50,000 of S106 social and community facilities contributions on improvements to the Binfield Parish Office be approved.

Reasons for the decision:

To enable an increase in the capacity of the Parish Office to provide much needed community facility space, including increased storage, meeting space and a community room.

Alternative options considered:

The Parish Council have considered a smaller development to simply increase the office accommodation, however, this would not add any community facilities and would not meet the needs of the wider community who require informal and formal meeting and recreation space.

The Executive Member could decide not to fund these improvements and use the funding for other matters meeting the S106 criteria.
