Full council record

Decision

Authorisation was given to extend the
completion date of the Agreement under Section 38 of the 1980
Highways Act for the residential development off Lakeside (Phase 2)
Brambling Way, Corncrake Drive, Dotterel Drive and Plover Way,
Scunthorpe from 30 November 2025 to 30 November 2027 without
amendment to the amount of supporting bond.

Reasons for the decision

The completed S38 Agreement supports
development and permits the council to adopt the roads, footways,
verges, swales, and highway drainage once the development has been
completed to the council's requirements.

The S38 Agreement can only legally last for two year and requires
an extension of time if works aren't complete at the end of the two
year period. This development is not yet completed and the
agreement needs renewing.

Alternative options considered

Not applicable.
