Salford City Council - Record of Decision

I, Councillor John Merry, Deputy City Mayor, in exercise of the powers contained within the City Council constitution do hereby approve:

1.    The proposed expenditure of up to £480,745.92 of Section 106 contributions received, from the Select Property Riverview development (328) as match funding towards delivery of Chapel Street East Phase 1 and New Bailey Gateway Phase 2.

2.    The proposed expenditure of up to £870,619.08 of Section 106 contributions received, from the Embankment West development (357) as match funding towards delivery of Chapel Street East Phase 1.

3.    The proposal to delegate Authority to the Executive Director for Place, in consultation with the Head of Planning and S106 officer, to allocate any remaining Section 106 contributions not needed for the delivery of Chapel Street East Phase 1 and New Bailey Gateway Phase 2, towards other named projects in the respective S106 agreements.

The Reasons are: The City Mayor had given approval to specific S106 contributions being allocated to named projects. Since then, a number of factors had changed, resulting in the need to reallocate some of these contributions previously identified as match funding towards the delivery of Chapel Street East Phase 2. The proposal was for these instead to be re-allocated instead, as match funding towards the delivery of Chapel Street East Phase 1 and New Bailey Gateway Phase 2, and which the above approvals will enable.

Options considered and rejected:             n/a

Assessment of Risk:                                    High
