Decision

Authorisation was given to extend the
completion date of the Agreement under Section 38 of the Highways
Act 1980 for the residential development off Lakeside Parkway,
Phase 2 from 30 September 2025 to 30 September 2027 without
amendment to the amount of supporting bond.

Reasons for the decision

The completed S38 Agreement supports
development and permits the council to adopt 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 requires renewal.

Alternative options considered

Not applicable.
