Appendices 1-3 are set out in Supplementary Agenda No.1 

Background:

This report provided details of the public consultation process undertaken on the draft Guide to Developer Contributions. It was noted that the latest version of the Guide had been approved by Cabinet on 30 October 2012 and that the new draft, as attached to the report, included up to date contact details and the inclusion of sport facilities and public realm sections.

A schedule of representations and responses was set out in Appendix 2 to the report and the draft Guide updated, where appropriate, to address issues raised by consultees.

The Regeneration, Community and Culture Overview and Scrutiny Committee considered the outcome of consultation on 26 June 2014 and its comments were set out in paragraph 7 of the report.

A Diversity Impact Assessment had been carried out on the proposals and this indicated that no further assessment was required, as set out in Appendix 3 to the report.

Appendices 1-3 to the report were set out in Supplementary Agenda No.1.

Reasons:

The updated Guide to Developer Contributions (2014) will provide up to date information on Medway Council’s policy on developer contributions. This will benefit all stakeholders, including developers and Medway Council services.
