Section 106 Town and Country Planning Act 1990 relating
to land lying to the south-east of the A354, between Cashmoor and Sixpenny Handley (Canada Farm). 

 

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. 

 

Under the
officer scheme of delegation and relevant nomination I am
authorized to instruct the sealing of this agreement:  

 

36 To instruct / appoint and/or authorise any external
person (including any consultant) or body (excluding legal professionals) to

similar body) relating to any work undertaken by Planning Services for which
the Chief Officer’s is responsible and/or to which s/he is providing
support.  

 

37 To determine whether to enter and to enter
