The Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report providing an update in relation to Section 106 Agreements.  The Chairman reminded Members that Essential Reference Paper “B” contained exempt information and of the need to move a motion to exclude the press and public should Members wish to discuss information contained within this reference paper.

 

The Deputy Chief Executive provided a summary of the report.  Members debated the report at length and supported the suggestion that the Executive be advised that, in order to generate relevant community improvement projects for Section 106 monies, the Council should consider engaging with:

 

·       Communities – to consider what local communities need;

·       Partner Organisations – (and being ready with projects to put to developers);

·       Town and Parish Councils – with identified local needs;

 

Members also supported the suggestion that consideration should be given to combining the CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) and Section 106 Monies.

 

The Chairman requested that a further update be presented to Members in approximately six months.  This was supported.
