Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
To seek approval for the allocation of S106
funding (£77,847) to support improvements to play and outdoor
recreational facilities at King George V Recreation Ground.
To confirm which financial contributions secured from developers
under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 will be
applied to the project.
To confirm that if approved, the £77,847 of S106 monies will
part-fund improvements being implemented by Winkfield Parish
Council totalling approximately £127,847.
That £77,847 of S106 contributions be allocated to Winkfield Parish Council as a grant to part-fund site works to improve outdoor play facilities at King George V Recreation Ground.
Developer contributions are collected through S106 agreements to support “providing, expanding or improving open space, and/or outdoor recreational facilities (which may include the acquisition and/or improvement of land and/or buildings and/or carrying out or assisting in the carrying out of nature/landscaping conservation projects) within three kilometres of the Site.”
Not carrying out a project at King George V Recreation Ground could lead to funds being returned to the developers, if no other qualifying scheme was located through which to deliver enhancements in the time available.
Not utilising s106 funding could result in a failure to mitigate the impact of development and a missed opportunity for ‘providing, expanding or improving open space, and/or outdoor recreational facilities’.
The wide range of S106 contributions available in the borough have been assessed in order to eliminate those lying outside the distance constraints of the developments as set out in the s106 agreements.
None.
Wards Affected: Winkfield & Cranbourne;
Financial Impact: The S106 funding is available for this scheme and once approved will be added to the Department's capital monitoring for 2017-18 as part of the rolling S106 capital programme.
Declarations: None.
Subject to Urgent Proceedings: No.
Making Representations: In writing to the Director of Environment, Culture & Communities.
