Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

To note the contents of the report and authorise the Corporate Director (Planning and Community) to complete and sign on behalf of Tendring District Council the draft MOU.

Reasons for the decision:

To add Tendring District Council’s support to the Memorandum of Understanding given its key role as one of the three Councils working in partnership on the Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community and the objective to deliver the remaining phases of the A1331 link road – a key element of the infrastructure required for the development to proceed.

Alternative options considered:

To not agree the MoU, which might put at risk the Government funding being sought by Essex County Council for the completion of the A1331 link road.
