Issue - meetings

The Chairman explained that one of the roles of the Budget IMG was to look at Section 106 agreements that were failing to achieve what they set out to achieve.  Mr Manning stated that he was hoping to meet with the Director of Economic Development and the Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development to determine how the original contribution level of £5.2million had been arrived at for the Aylesham development.  The Budget IMG had requested that the Scrutiny Board be asked to review the protocols on effective two tier working between the County and Districts on this issue and the formula used to determine contributions requested regarding future developments. 

RESOLVED:  That the Cabinet Scrutiny approve the notes of the Budget IMG on 27 November and ask the Scrutiny Board to review the protocols, in relation to future developments, between the County and Districts, the formula used to determine contributions requested from developers and the process for member review in the event that agreed contributions could not be met.
