Decision details

The receptor site is owned and managed by Cantley with Branton Parish Council. Doncaster Council has been working with the Parish Council to design an improvement scheme using feedback from public consultation carried out by the Parish Council.

1. To approve the allocation of up to £138,169 of Section 106 monies for the enhancement of Kilham Lane Playing Field, Branton;
2. To include the scheme in the Adults, Health
3. To approve the award of tender and scheme implementation once tender process is completed; and
4. To approved the allocation of up to £3,000 Section 106 monies as a maintenance sum to be paid to Cantley with Branton Parish Council in arrears for a maximum of two years for maintenance of the scheme. (up to maximum £1,500 per year for the two year period) - The £138,169 includes the above £3,000.

Open space improvements at Poppyfields Way were considered, however as outlined above, as there was not a clear majority of support from those who responded to the consultation it was considered that Kilham Lane would be a more appropriate site. The site is also identified as a priority site within the Green Space Strategy list of sites for the area.
The Parish Council are very supportive and have a strong desire for the field at Kilham lane to be improved. With the exception of the maintenance allocation, there will be no additional or ongoing financial implications on Doncaster Council as the improvements will become the responsibility of the Parish Council.
