Following the publishing of the Planning Committee Agenda, the Council received an updated consultation response on items D04, D05 and D06 of the agenda from Kent County Council, specifically with regard to contributions towards secondary education. The updated requests follow a review of costs of various recently completed secondary projects in Kent, with the previous figures submitted based on build costs from 2008. The request increases the required contribution to £4,115 per house towards a secondary expansion project. This new figure applies to agenda items D04,D05 and D06 on this evening’s agenda, therefore superseded the amounts stated within the individual reports consultation section and within the heads of terms section regarding the secondary school contribution. This change does not change the project that the contribution has been requested for.
