There is no reference to the Harborough Built Sports Facilities Strategy (BSFS) which deals with Leisure Centres and other built sports facilities. This strategy has already been used in conjunction with Sports England's Sports Facilities Calculator to understand demand from development for sports halls and swimming pools. and the proposed new Harborough LC. The BSFS also updates the position/evidence on supply,demand, use and quality of community and village halls

Yes. The Community Facilities Officer is excellent at communicating and discussing future needs, and this is exactly the approach that we need across all S106 typologies.

Paragraph 6.4, Level of Contribution to Community Facilities, makes reference to the “Refresh of the Harborough District Community Infrastructure Assessment’ undertaken by Peter Brett 2017, specifically Chapter 4.

Although one table from this chapter is included, I would have expected that there would either be a link to the entire document, or that it could be found on the HDC website, via the Search facility. However, there is no link and the Search facility is unable to locate it.

The lack of access to these documents means that the reader cannot see the basis on which decisions and calculations have been made.

Allocation of funding for community facilities: The ideal from the point of view of a Parish Council is that there would be consultation with the Parish Council (as the voice of the community in which the development is to take place) as to the community’s priorities, and that this would be reflected in the various Section 106 allocations which become available for the Parish to utilise.

Paragraphs 6.5 and 6.3 suggest that consultation or discussion takes place, but this does not always seem to be the case for each development. We would welcome a commitment in this document for this always to take place, and for the Parish to have an opportunity for input into the division of funding into the various spend categories which may be lacking at the moment.

Additionally, an explanation as to why the categorised heads and sums of money in the Section 106 Agreement do not necessarily equate to the same sums of money becoming available for the Parish to spend on projects would be helpful. Likewise, references to the background policies or other reference documents which support these decisions.
