Balances Repaid and Unpaid

Follow on from FOI 15401073

 

1) Could you please confirm which of the listed balances have actually been repaid to the developer or contributor, and which remain unpaid or are still being processed?



2) For any that remain unpaid, please also confirm whether the council has already identified or contacted the party entitled to repayment.



I am particularly interested in B/16/0052, 132027, N/105/00987/14 and B/15/0196.

Response:

The original FOI request (reference 15401073) was submitted to the County Council in February 2026 and a response was provided. Since then, the responsibility for this area of work has moved teams within the County Council, and a full analysis of the records and balances held has taken place. It is often the case that the original applicant for a site may not be the eventual company that carries out the build, so it is essential that checks are carried out robustly before any refund process is initiated. We are being assisted in this by our colleagues in the relevant District and Borough Councils. The spreadsheet provided with the response to FOI 15401073 has been updated to show the current status of each repayment.

Should you require the attachments mentioned above please contact customerinformationservice@lincolnshire.gov.uk with the below reference number and this can be provided.
