To agree the implementation of the improvements to the active travel infrastructure in Whitbourne which will deliver a new bus shelter, white lining and crossing facilities.

The S106 contribution of £31,974.00 has been identified and secured as part of the planning application relating to the Acreage, Whitbourne. The monies have been deposited with the council to enable commissioning of the proposed works.

That:

(a)        The S106 active travel and public transport scheme be implemented in Whitbourne; and

(b)        The Public Realm Annual Plan be amended to include the design and delivery of the scheme to the value of the contribution, £31,974.00.

The council could decide not to implement the scheme, however, the monies paid to the council by the developer, will be required to be refunded in full, if not spent in accordance with either the terms or timescales of the S106 Agreement.

Not proceeding with the scheme will leave the locality without the improvements, it has been demonstrated through the planning application that there is a need for the works which will benefit the community.
