Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed modifications to the Section 106 Agreement obligations relating to public access areas, public rights of way, and public access clauses serve their original purposes equally well
What decided it
The covenants in the Section 106 Agreement each still serve a useful purpose and the proposed modifications would undermine their stated purposes, which are supported by current development plan policies requiring public access, open space provision, and permeability.
