To allow for a deed of variation to be agreed
to the section 106 agreement in respect of application
NED/15/00153/OL for the provision of £44,000 to be made
towards the creation of an additional football pitch instead of
being used to provide for off-site children’s play equipment
as originally required.
An approach has been received from the
developer, the Parish Council and local Ward Members seeking to
re-allocate monies in the section 106 agreement attached to
planning application NED/15/00153/FL towards the creation of a new
football pitch instead of towards providing for off-site
children’s play equipment.
The Parish Council indicate that there is no requirement currently
for additional children’s play equipment in the
village.
It is considered that the aims and objectives of the originally
concluded agreement can be achieved by the provision of a football
pitch and there is local support for this.
The other option would be to require the
delivery of the off-site play equipment as originally
envisaged.
However, there is no evidenced need for that provision currently
and there is local support to re-divert the money as proposed. The
support for this includes the developer.
There appears no planning purpose to be served by requiring the
section 106 to be implemented as originally envisaged.
