Agenda item

Councillor Pike presented a report detailing the bids received following the CIL Bidding Process and outlined the significant consultation that had taken place in putting forward the recommendations.  The recommendations were in line with approved Council strategies and the proposals for the revised protocol included at Appendix A1 encouraged match funding from applicants.

 

Cabinet received a deputation from Cllr Branson supporting the application for Storey Community Garden to be awarded £40,439.   

 

Cabinet discussed the applications, with some Councillors feeling the allocations proposed to be awarded to some parts of the Borough disproportionate.  Particular reference was made to the Feasibility Study for the Langstone Roundabout improvements, along with the Hayling Billy Trail and Hayling Billy Bridge Feasibility Studies.  In response, it was explained that the Langstone Roundabout was an important infrastructure project which impacted upon a wide area.  This application, along with those relating to the Hayling Billy Trail and bridge were also key to the Local Plan and the Regeneration Strategy.

 

The need to revise the CIL allocation process was highlighted, in particular to ensure that awards were made which had a link to the Corporate Strategy.

 

Whilst the application for Storey Gardens was supported, Cabinet felt that the funding for it should be split between the three different Neighbourhood Pots, given the Borough wide nature of the project.

 

Cllr Pike proposed the recommendations as set out in the report, with the exception that the Storey Gardens application be removed from the Wider Havant Neighbourhood Pot.  Alongside this, he proposed a motion that delegated authority be given to the Director of Regeneration and Place, in consultation with the relevant Cabinet Lead and Statutory Officers, to agree a recommendation to Council for the most appropriate funding option to spread the allocation of funds for Storey Gardens across the three Neighbourhood Pots.

 

This proposal was duly seconded by Cllr Turner.

 

Following a vote it was unanimously RESOLVED that:

 

(i)            the Director of Regeneration and Place, in consultation with the Cabinet Lead and Statutory Officers, agree a recommendation to Council for the most appropriate funding option to spread the allocation of funds for Storey Gardens across the three Neighbourhood Pots; and

 

(ii)          Cabinet recommends to Full Council that it:

 

a)     Adopts the amendments to the CIL Funding Decision Protocol (Appendix A2);

 

b)     Approves a review of the CIL Funding Decision Protocol (Appendix A1);

 

c)     Invests the available Main CIL Pot funds as at 31 March 2020 in the capital infrastructure projects outlined in Table A1: Bids Recommended for Funding and Table A2: Bids Recommended for funding as at 1/4/2020 contingent upon third party outcomes:
