award of s106 funding to Shaftesbury Town Council, be extended as follows: (a)
That the timescale condition requiring the completion of all necessary
information required by condition, extended to 9 June 2026. (b) That the
commencement of work on-site, extended to: 9 July 2026 That the appraisal of
further information required by the conditions be agreed by the Head of
Planning in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning and Emergency Planning,
and any subsequent transfer of funds (and land) be made under the relevant
officer delegation in accordance with the s106 protocol process. Failure
to comply with either milestone extension would result in referral to
Cabinet for further consideration.
