Knowle relocation project: new FOI request on S106 cash

A fresh Freedom of Information request has gone out asking about the costs of the relocation project:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: latest FOI request on costs

As reported in the SOS blog:
Knowle Appeal Inquiry considers massing, scale, and “an original Fish” | Save Our Sidmouth

... a new FOI request has just been made on what the District Council would hope to get out of the developer at Knowle - should they get their planning permission:


Dear East Devon District Council,
I understand that EDDC has just signed an S106 agreement with Pegasus Life for their development at the Knowle.
Can you please provide me with all documents you hold relating to this agreement.
Yours faithfully,
P Freeman
Knowle: Pegasus Life S106 agreement - a Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council - WhatDoTheyKnow

The relationship between developers, local planning authorities and CIL/S 106 payments is fraught, to say the least:
Futures Forum: The District Council and not bothering about its S106 cash
Futures Forum: S106 Management - or how developers avoid affordable housing
Futures Forum: Missing out on developers' S106 funds...
Futures Forum: 106 payments and the NPPF... the repercussions for East Devon

Futures Forum: Developers' contributions to infrastructure are 'inadequate'
