Decision

Authorisation given to extend the completion
date of the Agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980 for
the residential development off Axholme Drive/Carrside, Epworth
from 30 June 2024 to 30 June 2026 without amendment to the amount
of supporting bond.

Reasons for the decision

The completed S38 agreement support
development and permit the Council to adopt the roads, footways,
verges, swales, and highway drainage once the development has been
completed to the council’s requirements.

The S38 agreement can only legally last for two years and requires
an extension of time if works aren’t complete at the end of
the two year period. This development is not yet completed, and the
agreement needs renewing.
