The Board received a report of the Executive Director – Environment and Regeneration, which provided an update on the expenditure of the Environmental Fund. Planning permission for the Runcorn Thermal Power Station (TPS) Plant was granted in September 2008. The Plant was subject to a legal agreement, under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.  The legal agreement contained a provision that the owner of the Plant agreed to pay the Council an annual lump sum payment for every tonne of fuel received and processed.

To date, the Fund had generated £5,924,470 and the projects that had benefitted from those funds were set out in Appendix 1. 

          RESOLVED: That the wide range of projects that had benefitted from the fund as set out in Appendix 1 be noted.
