1 Attachment

Dear Ms Hayhurst,
 
In response to your request submitted under the Freedom of Information Act
I attach a schedule of South Oxfordshire District Council's S106 spending
and receipts from 2009-2013.  In line with your request the sums are
broken down by infrastructure category.
 
We have not had to return any S106 contributions to developers in the last
five years.  You will note that not all contributions are
spent immediately.  Generally where we have retained contributions to
allow us to pool them with other funds to deliver a larger item of
infrastructure than a single contribution could deliver.  This can allow a
greater overall benefit for the community than providing infrastructure in
a piecemeal fashion; it does however require that some contributions are
held for a time while others are collected.
 
All of the S106 funds that we hold are allocated to be spent for a
particular purpose in the S106 agreement that secures them.  This is
because we are only able to request contributions to mitigate an
identified impact from a proposed development, consequently no sums are
unallocated. 
 
I hope that this is of assistance.
 
Yours sincerely
