Title:
Release of S106 Funds to Capital Programme, 11062 12/0793 – The Ridings, Durdar.
Subject and Decision Taken
  • A sum of £445,713.74 was received from Story Homes on 24/01/2020 as part of a Section 106 (developer contribution) agreement for a residential development off Durdar Road, Carlisle.
  • The agreement states that the funds were to be utilised at Hammonds Pond, Upperby and divided as below:

    Footpath improvements - £205,960.57

    CCTV and security improvements - £12,657.00

    Landscaping and drainage improvements - £52,508.01

    Recreation facilities improvements - £174,588.16

  • The Healthy City Team intends to use these funds in a phased approach to deliver high quality, community driven improvements across Hammonds Pond to benefit both the residents of the existing local area and those of the new Ridings estate.
  • Phase 2 of the project focusses on significant upgrades to the network of formal and informal footpaths within the park.
  • Work to produce specifications for macadam footpath resurfacing in the park has been completed by City Council staff and was tendered in early 2021. It is now planned to include the replacement of 4 no. end of life pedestrian foot bridges and the stabilisation of several hundred metres of pond edge bank within the same package of works.
  • The sum of £5,000 requires releasing from the footpath improvements contribution to the capital programme for the 2021/22 financial year to allow a purchase order to be placed with a consulting engineering firm to carry out detailed surveys and produce all technical plans and drawings for the new bridges.
The remaining balance will be released following production of the designs, receipt of permissions and tendering via existing framework agreements.
Reason for Decision
To begin the process of proactively using the S106 funds prior to the expiration date of their availability, ensuring that the opportunity is taken to provide high quality park infrastructure and ensure continued safe access throughout the site for all park users.
Details of alternative options considered
Do nothing. The S106 funds would be returned to the developer upon expiry of the spending period in March 2022 and the authority would be required to source grant funding to upgrade the park infrastructure.
