Additional wording to the report:
13. REASONS FOR REFUSAL IF S106 NOT COMPLETED
1. The proposal fails to provide a mechanism (via a Section 106 legal agreement) to secure an Employment and Training Strategy specifying how the developer or their main contractors will provide opportunities for local people to gain employment or training on the construction phase of the proposed development contrary to policy SS1, CP2 and CP7 of the Brighton & Hove City Plan Part One and the Council's Developer Contributions Technical Guidance.
2. The proposal fails to provide a mechanism (via a Section 106 legal agreement) to secure a financial contribution towards the City Council’s Local Employment Scheme to support local people to employment within the construction industry, contrary to policy SS1, CP2 and CP7 of the Brighton & Hove City Plan Part One and the Council’s Developer Contributions Technical Guidance. |
