Decision

Authorisation 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 (Section 3) bottom of Brambling Way & Dunlin Drive from 30 September 2023 to 30 September 2025 without amendment to the amount of supporting bond.

Reasons for the decision

The completed S38 agreement supports development and permits 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.
