The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to note the information reported on the developer contributions negotiated and received through the planning process in 2009/10.  

Cabinet considered a report (CA14) that summarised developer contributions secured by the County Council through the planning process in 2009/10; identifying the financial contributions negotiated, received and spent during the year (according to district area and locality).

Councillor Anne Purse stated that she appreciated the efforts of officers but queried whether the recommendations of a Scrutiny Review of the last few years had been implemented.

The Cabinet Member for Growth & Infrastructure agreed that officers did a tremendous job. He was not quite certain where the Council was in respect of the recommendations of the Scrutiny Review but further proposals may be coming forward from government in autumn 2010.

RESOLVED:                        to note the information reported on the developer contributions negotiated and received through the planning process in 2009/10.
