Decision details

To secure Portfolio Holder approval to use Section 106 contributions held by the District Council for improvements to community sports facilities in Edwinstowe.

That part of the contribution for Community Facilities secured through the s106 Agreement and held by the District Council in the sum of £22,600 to be used as a contribution towards Edwinstowe Community Cricket Club for improved access to the clubhouse and internal reconfiguration to increase the functional space and capacity of the building for the benefit of all user groups particularly provision for women and girls.

That the Council’s Capital Programme is increased by £22,600 funded by the Community Facilities contribution from Section 106 agreement AG1180.

To support the project recommended by the Working Group and to enable the s106 contribution for community facilities held for suitable projects in vicinity of Edwinstowe to be delivered by Edwinstowe Community Cricket Club in accordance with the terms of agreement AG1180 and to facilitate the delivery of improvements to its clubhouse.

The Section 106 receipts held under this agreement have to spent on community facilities in (the vicinity of the Thoresby Vale site) Edwinstowe within an agreed timescale in accordance with S106 Agreement AG1180.  Any s106 receipts not spent within the required timescale have to be returned to the developer with interest. 

This is a project that can be supported; however, the alternative option is to not support the project which would then not be delivered. 

The Thoresby Vale Working Group was established to receive, consider and recommended suitable projects for investment to the District Council.

These proposals were agreed unanimously, as suitable schemes for S106 contributions, by the Thoresby Vale Working Group at its meeting on 25^th September 2025 as per minute 25/WG/017 and is therefore now presented for formal approval.
