Background Information: The purpose of S106 funding from developers is to mitigate the impact of development. See the Council’s overview of S106 funding. Generic S106 contributions have previously been secured to improve community and sports facilities within the city (alongside other contribution types). To enable the Council to allocate the generic S106 funds that are still available to relevant & eligible projects, the Council is running run a S106 small grants round for community and sports facilities in 2023/24. From late July 2023, the Council has been inviting grant applications for between £5,000 and £30,000 from community and sports clubs that own or lease facilities.

Further applications (received by the end of October 2023) for projects completed by October 2024 will be reported to the January Committee.
