Reasons for the decision

The completed S38 agreement support development and permit 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 years 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
