The Section 106 Contributions arise from one Section 106 legal agreement:

Planning Reference GT / FIN Code Total Contribution S106 Allocation Expiry Date
P150930/O
210374 GT04 FIN2170 £138,841.18 £90,000 01/07/2032
TOTAL £90,000

The decision to fund £90,000 will not fully utilise the Section 106 Contribution. The remaining contribution balance of £48,841.18 will be appropriately commissioned and come forward for delivery in due course.

The total cost of the project is £178,400.40 (Inc VAT). Ross Rowing Club will provide a similar match funding contribution of £88,500 for the delivery of the project.

Planning permission for the project was granted on 30/08/2022. A copy of the decision notice has been included in Appendix 2.

The procurement for the works was carried separately in relation to the specific elements of the works required; Piling, Civils / Concrete Work and Enabling Works (Scaffolding). A tender report has been contained within Appendix 3 along with all formal quotations received.

The recommendation is to appoint JN Piling, SDG Groundworks and Attridge Scaffolding.

We are therefore satisfied that a sufficient tendering exercise has been completed in accordance with Herefordshire Councils Contract Procurement Rules (CPR).

Ross Rowing Club Is an all-inclusive facility with approximately 150 member of all ages and abilities. The project to provide new concrete riverside access steps will provide improvements to support all members and particularly those less able to participate in the sport. The project will also support the club to grow/diversify membership.

Responsibility for monitoring the project and managing expenditure within the total spend budget is to be with the S106 Programme Manager.
