Comment:

The Case Officer reported an amendment to the recommendation to extend the time period to complete the Section 106 Agreement to the end of 31 March 2023.  This had been included in the update note circulated prior to the meeting.

Members noted that that applicant would be required to pay a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) contribution.  It was requested that officers work with HCC and others to consider whether the CIL contribution could be used towards the upgrade of the footpath to the south of the site to Wiltshire Gardens and to improve Derritt Lane to the west of the site near to Clockhouse Stream in order to reduce the risk of flooding.
