AGREEMENT MADE UNDER  

Section 106 Town and Country Planning Act 1990 relating
to land lying to the west of Wimborne Road, Tarrant Keyneston,
and Hill Farm, Tarrant Keyneston and Tarrant Crawford
and Abbey Farms Blandford Forum (The Ferals). 

 

Decision: 

 

Authorise
sealing of s.106 agreement 

 

Background 

 

As part of our responsibilities as the responsible body for
biodiversity net gain it is important to enter into legal agreements to provide
the necessary certainty of securing habitat units from landowners which can
then be used to provide off-site BNG where developers are unable to secure
these on site.  

 

Reasons for the decision

The agreement will ensure we have a bank of BNG units for
developers to use, thereby facilitating development.
