To consider a report which seeks agreement for the collection of third party contributions to help meet funding commitments for the South Devon Link Road.

The Council considered the submitted report on proposals to collect contributions from third parties to help meet the funding commitments for the South Devon Link Road on a temporary basis until the Community Infrastructure Levy was put in place.

It was proposed by Councillor Thomas (D) and seconded by Councillor McPhail that:

(i)         where new development impacts on, or contributes to the need for the South Devon Link Road, a S106 Contribution would be sought towards funding it;  and

(ii)        in order to meet the Council’s financial commitments, contributions to the South Devon Link Road should be given a high priority when negotiating S106 Obligations, where lawful. 

On being put to the vote, the motion was declared carried (unanimous).
