S106 Financial Contributions

Requested Tue 16 January 2024
Responded Thu 18 January 2024

Please can you help. I am focusing on S106 documents agreed and signed between 1st January 2012 and 31st December 2016, with particular attention to the following:

1. The current status of unallocated or unspent funds, focusing on the categories of Education Contribution, Open Spaces and Environmental Improvements Contribution, Health Facilities Contribution, and the Community Centre Contribution.

2. Any projects or initiatives that have been identified for the utilisation of these unallocated funds.

3. The council's plans or considerations for allocating the remaining funds, ensuring they are utilised effectively for the benefit of the community.

Moreover, I would appreciate receiving any relevant documents or reports that outline the allocation and expenditure of these funds and the planning references for the corresponding sums.

Given the importance of transparency in community development, I believe this information will contribute to a better understanding of the Section 106 contributions and their impact on our community.
