Decision details

Section 106 Town and Country Planning Act 1990 relating to land lying to the south-east of the A354, between Cashmoor and Sixpenny Handley (Canada Farm). 

Decision: 

Authorise sealing of s.106 agreement 

Background 

As part of our responsibilities as the responsible body for biodiversity net gain it is important to enter into legal agreements to provide the necessary certainty of securing habitat units from landowners which can then be used to provide off-site BNG where developers are unable to secure these on site.  

The agreement will ensure we have a bank of BNG units for developers to use, thereby facilitating development. 

Under the officer scheme of delegation and relevant nomination I am authorized to instruct the sealing of this agreement:  

36 To instruct / appoint and/or authorise any external person (including any consultant) or body (excluding legal professionals) to undertake work and/ or act for and/or on behalf of the Council in respect of any matter (including at any legal proceedings, tribunal, hearing, inquiry or similar body) relating to any work undertaken by Planning Services for which the Chief Officer’s is responsible and/or to which s/he is providing support.  

37 To determine whether to enter and to enter into any contract or agreement for works, services and/or supplies, including all terms, for any service for which the Chief Officer is responsible provided that: 

(a) any expenditure incurred can be met from a relevant budget; and, 

(b) the process followed is in accordance with the Contract Procedure Rules.
