and Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Public Realm and Public Spaces
and Portfolio Holder for Assets note the content of this report and
agree:
(a)Upon no objection being raised by the Developer/Owner that the

exclusion, cost or hindrance;
(b)consent to the transfer of the Open Space Land directly from the

party to the transfer providing such consent;
(c)the authorisation of the Contribution held by the Council to be

(d) Officers undertake the necessary administrative functions and

Reasons for the decision

Consenting to the transfer of the Open Space
Land and Contribution or to transfer the Open Space Land and to
transfer the Contribution to the Parish Council reduces future work
for the Council in terms of work or monitoring the works carried
out to the Open Space Land by the Parish Council and keeping
financial records relating to the Contribution.

Alternative options considered

1.Not to consent to the transfer of the Open
Space Land and the Contribution to the Parish Council. Not
proposed. Would incur additional demand on TDC resources.
2.Transferring the Open Space Land to the Parish Council and
retaining the Contribution. Not proposed. Transferring the land but
retaining the money would be unfair and lead to dispute.
