3. Note that the current breaches of the S106 planning obligations are being actively pursued and, if necessary, appropriate legal proceedings will be taken to seek to ensure compliance, and that an update on this will be brought to the next meeting of the Planning Committee.

 

 

This minute was subsequently amended at the meeting 17 August 2017 (minute 40 refers) in that it was agreed that the above resolution was not voted upon and therefore did not stand but a further report be brought back to a future meeting of this committee.
