Background:
This report requested that the Cabinet agree to the release of specific s106 funding to enable the development and subsequent ongoing management of Deangate Community Parkland, a site which sat on part of the Medway Council owned former Deangate Ridge Golf Course. This would ensure that the Council delivered the open space scheme, which had planning permission, subject to the approval of conditions. It was anticipated that the scheme would improve the quality and general management of this greenspace.
In February 2024, the Council had been successful in Its application for Deangate Community Parkland. Following this, it had been identified that certain s106 contributions could become available for this area.
