Decision details
Parks Service S106 funded capital projects
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member - Community Services
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
This project will see the delivery of 11 capital projects at sites across the district- all of which will be funded through s106 allocations. This programme was recently approved by DDG, and through the PID process, for delivery in 2015/16.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member agrees to approve capital expenditure of £300k on improvement projects located at B&NES’ green spaces, in discharging responsibilities associated with S106 agreements.
Reasons for the decision:
Approval of these projects will enable the council to deliver the improvements identified in the GSSR through the use of contributions secured by way of S106 Agreements.
Alternative options considered:
To not undertake any improvement works. This would:
a)Put the council in breach of its responsibilities under the appropriate S106 agreements incurring a significant financial penalty for the authority.
b)Lead to a further deterioration of assets and would potentially put us in breach of our obligations.
