The Executive considered a report which sought to enable the development of three additional traveller pitches which received planning consent in April 2017.  The development would be funded by way of an offsite provision within the planning application 13/02729/MAJ Matford Home Park, South of A379, Exeter.

The Housing Enabling Officer advised that the Council had tendered for the works to be undertaken which comprised of not only structural works but also geological surveys, all of which impacted on the price of construction.

Resolved

That forward funding of the three pitch extension of the Haldon Traveller site be approved in advance of receipt of the Section 106 offsite affordable housing contribution which will fund the development in full.
