Agenda

To approve the record of the meeting held on 23 September 2026.

The Chairperson will announce any late items which do not appear on the main agenda but which he/she has agreed should be considered by reason of special circumstances to be specified in the report. 

Members are invited to disclose any Disclosable Pecuniary Interests or Other Significant Interests in accordance with the Member Code of Conduct. Guidance on this is set out in agenda item 4.

Hoo St Werburgh and High Halstow Ward

This report relates to a request for a Deed of Variation to the S106 signed as part of the approval for development of 134 dwellings at Land at the Former Sturdee Club and Land at Stoke Road, Hoo St Werburgh. The request relates to the affordable housing element of the S106 and requests that affordable housing is taken out of the S106 due to no take up from any registered provider. This would enable a registered provider to apply for grant funding and still deliver affordable homes on site, rather than the developer needing to go through a cascade process of alternative options to the preferred option of direct delivery on site.
