iii. the budget amounts included in the report be the Council’s budget for 2026/27; and

iv. the fees and charges shown in Appendices C1-C23 be implemented with effect from 1 April 2026.

The Business Manager - Financial Services presented a report which enabled Members to consider the spending proposals in the Council’s proposed 2026/27 General Fund Revenue Budget. The budget proposals had been prepared in accordance with the Council’s budget setting strategy for 2026/27, as approved by the Cabinet on 8 July 2025.

The Local Government Finance Settlement provided councils with the amount of government grant and other information pertinent for setting next year’s budget. The provisional settlement was announced on 17 December 2025, and the final settlement was expected in February 2026.  It was reported that the proposal within the report was a Council Tax freeze for the 2026/27 financial year.

AGREED     (with 5 votes for and 1 abstention) that Cabinet recommends to Full Council at its meeting on 5 March 2026 that:

i.     the following amounts be now calculated by the Council for the 2026/27 financial year, in accordance with Sections 31 to 36 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 as amended by the Localism Act 2011:

1.    £57,909,340 being the aggregate of the amounts which the Council estimates for items set out in Section 31A(2)(a) to (f) of the Act, as the District Council’s gross expenditure for 2026/27);

2.    £37,209,230 being the aggregate of the amounts which the Council estimates for the items set out in Section 31A(3)(a) to (d) of the Act, as the District Council’s gross income for 2026/27); and

3.    £20,700,110 being the amount by which the aggregate at (b)(i) above exceeds the aggregate at (b)(ii) above, calculated by the Council, in accordance with Section 31A(4) of the Act, as its Net Budget Requirement for the year;

ii.    the figures shown as i.1. and i.3. above to be increased only by the amount of Parish Precepts for 2026/27;

iii.   the budget amounts included in the report be the Council’s budget for 2026/27; and

iv.   the fees and charges shown in Appendices C1-C23 be implemented with effect from 1 April 2026.

Reasons for Decision:

To enable Cabinet to make recommendations to Full Council of the amounts to be calculated in accordance with Sections 31 to 36 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992, as amended by the Localism Act 2011, for the purposes of setting Council Tax levels for the 2026/27 financial year.

Options Considered:

Not applicable, the Cabinet is required to make recommendations on the budget to Full Council.

That Cabinet recommend to Full Council on 5 March 2026 the General Fund schemes set out at Appendix A to the report as committed expenditure in the Capital Programme for 2026/27 to 2029/30.

The Business Manager - Financial Services presented a report which detailed the proposed capital schemes over the medium term, together with the available resources to finance them. In accordance with the Financial Regulations, Cabinet was required to consider the Capital Programme and recommend to the Council the final Programme for approval on 5 March 2026.

There was an exempt version of the report which advised of the total of the intended spend on the general fund capital expenditure, as the Ollerton Regeneration scheme costs were commercially sensitive.

AGREED     (unanimously) that Cabinet recommend to Full Council on 5 March 2026 the General Fund schemes set out at Appendix A to the report as committed expenditure in the Capital Programme for 2026/27 to 2029/30.

Reasons for Decision:

To enable the Capital Programme to be considered by Cabinet in accordance with Financial Regulation 6.2.3 prior to its submission to Full Council.

Options Considered:

If the Council did not have a Capital Programme, this would result in not being able to deliver the schemes and not achieve the objectives in the Community Plan.

That Cabinet recommends the 2026/27 to 2029/30 Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP) for approval by the Full Council at their meeting to be held on 5 March 2026.

The Business Manager - Financial Services presented a report detailing the Council’s Medium Term Financia Plan (MTFP) for the four financial years from 2026/27 to 2029/30. The main aims of the MTFP were to deliver the Council’s Community Plan objectives; present the Council’s current predictions of its financial position between 2026/27 to 2029/30; and to enable Members to make decisions which ensured the Council’s future financial sustainability.

AGREED      (with 5 votes for and 1 abstention) that Cabinet recommends the 2026/27 to 2029/30 Medium Term Financial Plan for approval by the Full Council at their meeting to be held on 5 March 2026.

Reasons for Decision:

To provide a framework to support the Council’s future spending plans.

Options Considered:

Not applicable, the Cabinet is required to make recommendations on the budget to the Full Council.

That Cabinet recommend the Pay Policy Statement for 2026/27 to Full Council for approval.

The Business Manager - HR & Training presented the proposed Pay Policy Statement for 2025/26 which the Council was required to produce annually in accordance with Section 38 (1) of the Localism Act 2011. A copy of the Statement was attached as an appendix to the report. It was reported that the pay award for 2026/27 had not been finalised, therefore the existing pay rates for 2025/26 had been included in the Statement.

AGREED      (unanimously) that Cabinet recommend the Pay Policy Statement for 2026/27 to Full Council for approval.

Reasons for Decision:

To ensure compliance with Section 38 (1) of the Localism Act 2011.

Options Considered:

Not applicable, the publication of the Pay Policy Statement is required by the Localism Act 2011.

That Cabinet:

a)      note the two bids being developed by towns within the district;

b)      approve a net expenditure budget of up to £10,000 (up to £5,000 per town) to be added in 2025/26 to support and facilitate towns in Newark and Sherwood in the development of their Expressions of Interest, with the allocation of funding to be subject to a lead organisation being formally identified through a partnership and subject to proof of expenditure;

c)      subject to either or both bids being shortlisted, Newark & Sherwood District Council to be the accountable body if required as a partner organisation in any bid developed within the district for the 2028 UK Town of Culture; and

d)      subject to c above, the net expenditure budget and income budget of up to £120,000 be added in the respective financial year, should either or both towns from within Newark and Sherwood be shortlisted at the Expression of Interest stage for the £60,000 grant.

The Business Manager - Heritage and Culture presented a report which updated Members about the UK Town of Culture competition and the two bids being prepared in the district and the process to be undertaken. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport published guidance on 14 January 2026 and set an Expression of Interest deadline of 31 March 2026. It was reported that if successful, winning places would be required to specify an ‘Accountable Body’ and ‘Delivery Body’ for their programme. The two bids being prepared were for Newark and Southwell.

AGREED     (unanimously) that Cabinet:

a)           note the two bids being developed by towns within the district;

b)          approve a net expenditure budget of up to £10,000 (up to £5,000 per town) to be added in 2025/26 to support and facilitate towns in Newark and Sherwood in the development of their Expressions of Interest, with the allocation of funding to be subject to a lead organisation being formally identified through a partnership and subject to proof of expenditure;

c)           subject to either or both bids being shortlisted, Newark & Sherwood District Council to be the accountable body if required as a partner organisation in any bid developed within the district for the 2028 UK Town of Culture; and

d)          subject to c above, the net expenditure budget and income budget of up to £120,000 be added in the respective financial year, should either or both towns from within Newark and Sherwood be shortlisted at the Expression of Interest stage for the £60,000 grant.

Reasons for Decision:

The funding would represent a step change in our ability to promote, maximise and celebrate the diversity of Newark and Sherwood’s heritage, culture and community spirit. The recommendation identifies a role for NSDC which is achievable given current workloads, the context of LGR and supports bids from within the district.

Options Considered:

A ‘do nothing’ option could be considered in light of the timescale, staff capacity and timing of LGR and this funding. However, given the guidance as described within this report, that would preclude any bids coming from Newark and Sherwood. As such, this option was discounted.

That Cabinet:

a)       approve the Council entering into arrangements with Barratt David Wilson Homes (BDW) to purchase (for the consideration of £1) and maintain the Public Open Space within the Fernwood North development, subject to the Council securing:

i)     an appropriate contribution towards ongoing maintenance costs from BDW, subject to BDW successfully securing and legally executing an agreement with the Council, as the Local Planning Authority, a S106 Deed of Variation as detailed at paragraph 2.4 of the report and within Exempt Appendix A; and

ii)    completion of satisfactory due diligence by the Director - Communities & Environment, in consultation with the Street Scene Manager and Principal Legal Officer, on the Public Open Space extent, type, and phasing including in relation to the legal title to the land;

b)       approve the Council covering future maintenance revenue requirements, supplemented by and subject to the required ‘appropriate contribution’ details at a) i) above, as detailed in the Financial Implications section in Exempt Appendix A; and

c)        approve that delegated authority be given to the Council’s Director - Communities & Environment, in consultation with the Street Scene Manager, to secure the land transfer from BDW, including appropriate phasing and onboarding of the Public Open Space.

The Director - Planning & Growth presented a report which put forward a proposal for the District Council to adopt Public Open Space (POS) within the Fernwood North development. The adoption of the POS would include ownership and ongoing maintenance.

The report to Cabinet on 4 November 2024 set the context of developments taking place in the greater Fernwood area and specifically the negotiations taking place between officers and Barrat David Wilson Homes (BDW) to secure a previous agreement for them to transfer POS to the District Council rather than implement a Management Company which was the extant lawful position for the Fernwood North development. Since then, agreement had been reached on the quantum and types of open space that could be transferred into public ownership. The Council had also resolved in July 2025 to have a ‘No Man-Co’ preferred approach on strategic urban extension sites such as Fernwood.

It was reported that the Fernwood North development continued at pace and a resolution was required to bring the POS into public ownership. Initial conversations took place between the District Council, BDW and Fernwood Parish Council with the Parish Council resolving in February that they were unable to pursue taking ownership of the land and no further communication had been received. Due diligence had been undertaken such that the District Council were satisfied that a transfer of the first phase of open space could be completed with other phases following.

It was clear that if the District Council were to bring the POS into public ownership that there would be a maintenance shortfall, especially given the stance of Fernwood Parish Council. It was recommended that other Fernwood North Section 106 contributions be utilised in order to provide a commuted payment towards POS maintenance, something which BDW were willing to pursue with the District Council as the local planning authority.

AGREED      (unanimously) that Cabinet:

a)           approve the Council entering into arrangements with Barratt David Wilson Homes (BDW) to purchase (for the consideration of £1) and maintain the Public Open Space within the Fernwood North development, subject to the Council securing:

i)            an appropriate contribution towards ongoing maintenance costs from BDW, subject to BDW successfully securing and legally executing an agreement with the Council, as the Local Planning Authority, a S106 Deed of Variation as detailed at paragraph 2.4 of the report and within Exempt Appendix A; and

ii)           completion of satisfactory due diligence by the Director - Communities & Environment, in consultation with the Street Scene Manager and Principal Legal Officer, on the Public Open Space extent, type, and phasing including in relation to the legal title to the land;

b)          approve the Council covering future maintenance revenue requirements, supplemented by and subject to the required ‘appropriate contribution’ details at a) i) above, as detailed in the Financial Implications section in Exempt Appendix A; and

c)           approve that delegated authority be given to the Council’s Director - Communities & Environment, in consultation with the Street Scene Manager, to secure the land transfer from BDW,  ...  view the full minutes text for item 359.

That Cabinet:

a)      note the update provided in relation to the Newark Town Centre Masterplan;

b)      adopt the Newark Town Centre Masterplan as planning guidance from 1 April 2026;

c)    allow for a review of not less than 6 months of the implementation of the Town Centre Masterplan, with delegated authority for any necessary amendments being delegated to the Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Economic Development in consultation with the Chair of Planning Committee and Director – Planning & Growth; and

d)    note the update provided in relation to the Newark Town Centre Design Code and endorse its adoption as guidance as part of an updated Newark Conservation Area Management Plan the publication of which is already delegated to the Council’s Director of Planning & Growth.

The Town Centres & Visitor Economy and Senior Planner jointly presented a report which provided an update on and sought adoption of the Newark Town Centre Masterplan and Design Code.

The purpose of the Town Centre Masterplan was to provide a strategic framework to guide development, regeneration and investment within Newark’s Conservation Area. The vision was that Newark Town Centre would remain a historic market town while embracing sustainable growth, creativity and connectivity. The purpose of the Design Code was to provide clear, detailed design requirements for development within the town centre, helping to deliver the vision and principles set out in the Masterplan. It would establish consistent standards for architecture, materials, public realm and sustainability, ensuring that new development respects Newark’s historic character whilst meeting modern requirements for accessibility, climate resilience and quality of life.

It was noted that the Policy & Performance Improvement Committee had recommended approval of both the Masterplan and Design Code at their meeting held on 23 February 2026.

AGREED     (with 5 votes for and 1 abstention) that Cabinet:

a)           note the update provided in relation to the Newark Town Centre Masterplan;

b)          adopt the Newark Town Centre Masterplan as planning guidance from 1 April 2026;

c)           allow for a review of not less than 6 months of the implementation of the Town Centre Masterplan, with delegated authority for any necessary amendments being delegated to the Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Economic Development in consultation with the Chair of Planning Committee and Director – Planning & Growth; and

d)          note the update provided in relation to the Newark Town Centre Design Code and endorse its adoption as guidance as part of an updated Newark Conservation Area Management Plan the publication of which is already delegated to the Council’s Director of Planning & Growth.

Reasons for Decision:

It is important that the Newark Town Centre Masterplan is carried forward in order to provide a clear, framework for shaping growth, investment (by the Council and others), and regeneration in line with community priorities. Adoption ensures that future development can be influenced. This directly supports the ambitions of the Newark & Sherwood Community Plan 2023–2027 by breaking down barriers to opportunity, improving health and wellbeing through active travel and green spaces, reducing crime through better-designed public realm, celebrating culture and heritage, and advancing climate resilience and net-zero objectives.

Incorporating relevant elements of the Design Code into an updated Newark Conservation Area Management Plan also provides an effective approach to support its integration into the Development Management process.

Options Considered:

The option to discontinue work and not finalise the Newark Town Centre Masterplan has been ruled out. Establishing a clear, deliverable strategy for the nature of future development and design that will be supported is considered essential.

Taking the Design Code forward as a Supplementary Planning Document has been impacted upon by changes to the plan-making system and is therefore discounted. The alternative option of taking the Code forward as part of the Newark Conservation Area Management Plan is a sensible alternative that will ensure  ...  view the full minutes text for item 360.
