In January 2016 Cabinet approved a joint
scheme of mitigation for Pagham Harbour. This mitigates the effects
of increased housing numbers on the protected bird populations of
the Harbour, and so allows developments to proceed. The scheme is
funded by s106 contributions from Arun DC and ourselves and will be
delivered by the RSPB for the first five years.
Since the approval above the expected housing numbers for Arun have
increased considerably. A higher level of mitigation effort and
expenditure are now needed, funded by increased contributions from
Arun. This report will seek authorisation for the revised level of
s106 expenditure and asks Cabinet to note the new level of
developer contributions.
RESOLVED
(1)
That the revisions to the joint scheme of mitigation
for Pagham Harbour Special Protection Area in appendix 1 to this
report be endorsed.
(2)
That the reduced level of developer contributions to
the joint scheme set out in appendix 2 to this report be
approved.
(3)
That the increased expenditure of the joint section
106 funds on the scheme of mitigation as specified in para 5.2 of
this report be approved.
(4) That the Head of Housing and Environment Services be authorised to enter into an agreement with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and Arun District Council to deliver mitigation measures for a five-year period, with the option to extend this to ten years.
