Report by Project, Procurement and Open Space Officer (attached).

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report by the Project, Procurement and Open Space Officer (circulated previously) regarding the allocation of section 106 public open space funds towards projects in Bishops Nympton, Heasley Mill and Fremington.

 

The Project, Procurement and Open Space Officer advised that the Bishops Nympton Parish Hall scheme had already taken place.  As the project for which the section 106 contribution was sought had already been provided, there was a risk of the developer seeking a repayment.  The risk was relatively low and would be passed to the Parish Hall Committee as part of the funding agreement. The funding would be used to repay the majority of the loan that was taken out by the Hall committee to build the club.

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a)

That £50,530.38 be allocated to Bishops Nympton Parish Hall towards construction of Bishops Nympton Community Club;

 

(b)

That £5,000 be allocated to Heasley Mill Village Hall towards the improvement of the village hall car park;

 

(c)

That £36,427.04 be allocated to Fremington Parish Council towards creation of the car park as part of the Beechfield extension.

 

RECOMMENDED:

 

(d)

That Council vary the capital programme by £91,957.42 and that funds be released, subject to a Funding Agreement upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed by the Senior Solicitor.
