I am focusing on S106 documents agreed and signed between 1st January 2012 and 31st December 2016, with particular attention to the following:
1. The current status of unallocated or unspent funds, focusing on the categories of Education Contribution, Open Spaces and Environmental Improvements Contribution, Health Facilities Contribution, and the Community Centre Contribution.
2. Any projects or initiatives that have been identified for the utilization of these unallocated funds.
3. The council’s plans or considerations for allocating the remaining funds, ensuring they are utilized effectively for the benefit of the community.
Compliance with this request would exceed the appropriate cost limit under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. There are 375 Education section 106 agreements which were agreed during this time period. To therefore review the Education agreements alone, allowing for 10 minutes for each agreement, would take more than 60 hours.
