Agenda item

Members received a report on the proposed amendments to the existing Section 106 agreement pursuant to planning permission 12/0546 for the redevelopment of the PRB site in Deepcut.

The applicant team wished to revisit the S106 agreement particularly the triggers for delivery of elements on and off site infrastructure and mitigation and some definitions and terminology. A deed of variation would be needed to make these amendments which would usually be dealt with under delegated authority. However as the development was of strategic importance the agreement of Members was sought at Committee.

A further paper was received by the Committee which outlined that discussions had taken place and this resulted in the applicant team withdrawing their request to amend triggers in respect of the on and off site highway works. This was due to the potential impact on the wider mitigation package and possibly unacceptable impacts on the free flow of traffic or highway safety.  Therefore the highway triggers outlined in item 6 on the agenda had been deleted.

It was noted that the draft deed of variation reflected the changes to various elements of the triggers and the rationale for these changes were noted.

Revised wording for the paragraph 2.2 was agreed.

Resolved that, subject to review by the Council’s legal advisers, the completion of the deed of variation be completed by the officers.
