Decision details

The Council has received Section 106 Integrated Transport (ITPS) funds and is proposing to utilise some of these funds on access improvements off Coventry Lane in Bramcote.  Any S106 funds received should be spent on mitigating the impact of the development to which they serve.  In this regard the payment needs to be spent on transport links. 

As part of the wider S106 agreement, two other contributions will be provided; one specifically being spent on road infrastructure improvements and the other amount has been sent to Nottinghamshire County Council for improvements to local bus services.  It is therefore suggested that these funds are utilised on improving nearby pedestrian links.

RESOLVED that the proposed funding allocation for access improvements at Coventry Lane be approved.  The combined cost of £80,000 will be added to the Capital Programme in 2023/24 to be funded by an allocation from Section 106 contributions.

Reason

Any S106 contributions should be spent on works that can help alleviate or mitigate part of the impact of the development to which is relates. Following revisiting the original agreement I am comfortable that these monies can be allocated in this way.
