To provide an update report on the management and administration of planning obligations and set out the progress on unspent funds up to 31 March 2013.

The Committee received an end of year update report on the management and administration of planning obligations and progress on unspent funds as at 31 March 2013.

In response to a question regarding progress with the receipt of Hale Village s106 monies, confirmation was provided that negotiations remained ongoing, and that £3.1m had been received to date. A further update would be provided at the next meeting.

The Committee requested, in the interests of clarity, that in future reports the table showing a budget breakdown of s106 monies include columns identifying those where agreements had expired, not been triggered or where funds had yet to be received. 

Members queried whether the proportion of s106 contribution spend allocated against an education pool for capital spend in schools could be restricted only to those directly maintained by the Council. Officers confirmed that the spend was determined in line with the policy set by the education department.

RESOLVED

·        That the report be noted.
