Terms of Reference

These were noted.

Projects invited to submit Stage 2 full Proposals and those not invited or not able to proceed

These were noted.

CIL and S106 monies available at 31^st July 2018 and the option of pre-committing future CIL receipts to support the proposals

To consider the approval of funding for the Proposals submitted for consideration, including any conditions which they may wish to attach

Councillor Weston proposed an amendment to use the S106 funding from Henbury & Brentry to plant 9 new trees along Knole Lane, not to replace the trees at the street venues identified in the Tree Forum mapping. It’s because there’s been a long-standing aspiration from NP days to have an avenue of trees along Knole Lane both for aesthetic purposes and to discourage verge parking. He confirmed that the details of the planting would be agreed with the Tree Officer. This amendment was seconded and agreed.

To consider the to-be-tabled update on the availability of 2 S106 contributions (12/01237 / Glos County Cricket Club, Nevil Road, Bishopston: £15,767.35 and 12/01237 / Glos County Cricket Club, Nevil Road, Bishopston: £21,023.13)

The Community Resources Manager provided an update on this issue and noted that the S 106 contributions expire on 12^th December 2018 and that this item was therefore tabled as urgent and accepted as such because of the risk of losing the funding.
