During discussion, the Committee noted that there were two minor errors in the Report, but these were not considered consequential. A query was raised as to whether Rushmoor could work with neighbouring authorities in future to align planning fees in time for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). The Committee were advised that statutory planning fees were set nationally by the Government, although it could be subject to change in the future. It was noted that a quarterly Report would be produced in future detailing all Section 106 contributions, not just those relating to the Wellesley development. RESOLVED: That the Executive Head of Property and Growth’s Report No. PG2519 be noted. ACTION
