Off-site Recreation Contributions pdf icon PDF 13 KB

Minutes:

The Group Manager Development presented a report on the approach to be taken in applying off-site contributions towards flatted developments. By way of background information, he confirmed that outdoor recreation space comprising “children’s playing space” and “outdoor sport facilities” and the issue of potential off-site contributions from developers to fund all types of outdoor recreational space would be addressed as part of the future Recreational Space SPG.

 

Currently requests were made for contributions from dwellings but not flats. In future the children’s play space contribution would be applied to flats of 2 bedrooms or more in line with the Education contribution. Bedsits, 1 bed flats and sheltered or elderly accommodation would remain exempt.

 

The forthcoming Recreational Space SPG would clarify this situation.

 

RESOLVED

 

That the content of the report on the approach to be taken when applying children’s play space contributions to flatted developments, be noted.
