In line with the arrangements agreed by the Executive Councillor, the Council has invited proposals for improving play areas and open spaces within the city as part of its 2020 S106 funding round. A range of applications have been received and assessed against the S106 selection criteria . The report will summarises those applications and assessments and makes recommendations for S106 funding.

Background Information: The Council has secured generic, off-site S106 funding from developers, under a range of contribution types, to help mitigate the impact of local development prior to the changes to the national regulations in 2015. An overview can be found at: www.cambridge.gov.uk/our-approach-to-s106 The availability of the generic S106 funding that still remains is limited and is unevenly spread across the city. Consistent with all previous S106 funding rounds, the 2020 generic S106 funding rounds has only been able to seek project proposals from those wards that still have S106 funding locally.
