SHORTLISING OF PROJECTS FOR THE USE OF STRATEGIC COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 This paper sets out the list and prioritisation process for the proposal to identify the first tranche of strategic CIL projects.

2. PROCESS FOR LONG LISTING

2.1 The long list of projects can be themed to ten areas as set out below (with the costs only relating to the known costs of the projects):

· Community provision (£500k) – project includes creation of a concession stand at a Council asset.

· Connectivity (£7.95m) – projects include enhancements to the Public Right of Way by measures including signage, car parking facilities and surface enhancements.

· Culture (£6.38m) – projects include creation of gallery/exhibition space and installation of public art.

· Energy Infrastructure (no cost estimate) – projects include improving electrical capacity at the grid through the provision of net zero infrastructure.

· Flood management / Coastal defences (£8.2m) – projects regarding coastal flood and erosion risk but excluding the costs being identified in the Environment Agency led long term strategies for coastal management.

· Highways (£134m) – projects include junction and access improvements on HCC highways (of which Dft would fund 85%).

· Formal open space / playing pitches (£10.445m) – projects include additional formal pitches, multi-use games areas (MUGAs) and changing facilities.

· Public Transport (£10.14m) – projects include enhancements to bus services and the Hythe Ferry.

· Informal open space (£600k) – projects include enhancements to the existing open space owned by the Council.

· Town centre regeneration (£22m) – projects including regeneration schemes around key towns in the District.

2.2 Each project (as listed in Appendix A) is at a different stage in development with costs often not known or provided on a very indicative basis. On those projects where an indicative cost is known, the total sum is around £200m of which the A326 project totals £125m. If all projects were fully costed, the estimated costs will be significantly more.

3. PROJECTS NOT LISTED

3.1 Despite a considerable number of projects being identified to date, there are still some areas where we may wish to consider further exploration, including potential liaison with the private sector in future years. These include (for each, we have summarised why they have not been included at this stage):

· Education – on the basis that school enrolment numbers are declining within the existing population, and forecast to continue to decline, there is currently limited rationale for including as part of a S106 requirement (thus enabling more affordable homes to be included).

· Nursery/childcare provision for under 5s – with the recent role out of additional 'free’ hours of childcare provision for those over 2 years old there is expected to be increasing demand for space from this sector. Officers have engaged with HCC Children Services who are currently appraising capacity to accommodate this demand. Taking account

· Waterside Rail – on the basis that Network Rail/Department of Transport have not indicated an appetite for progressing at this stage.

· Water

o Supply issues caused by flood inundation (rainfall), particularly at Testwood, Totton – on the basis that this is an issue that officers are engaging with Southern Water to progress as they are the responsible body for this, alongside the Environment Agency and Hampshire County Council.

o Waste water treatment works upgrades – these are now required to be upgraded following changes to government regulations, funded by the respective water companies.

· Utilities provision (e.g. energy providers) – on the basis that they have a duty to connect, and officers are progressing this separately with them. This would also include where and when renewable energy solutions are implemented.

· Health – on the basis that no specific needs have been identified by the NHS, other than needs arising at Ashurst Hospital which are being addressed through the approved local CIL project spend for 24/25.

· Leisure/community facilities – no such needs have been identified to date, but could potentially include energy improvement projects as part of infrastructure projects..

· Skills training – on the basis that this is expected to come through the Freeport process.

4. SHORTLISTING

4.1 Of the ten themes identified in section 2, officers have sought to refine these in the light of the following key priorities, all of which reflect the Council’s adopted Local Plan and Corporate Plan:

· Projects emerging through existing strategic community partnership work;

· Reflecting significant housing growth identified in the adopted Local Plan;

· Links to opportunity areas in adopted and developing neighbourhood plans or through the council’s Solent Freeport Delivery Plan;

· Links to recreational mitigation projects and wider infrastructure projects (e.g. flood mitigation works with the Environment Agency);

· Links to enhancing council assets for the benefits of our communities; and

· Likely value for money/benefit to cost ratio based on preliminary officer judgement.

4.2 Following this assessment, the following four key themes are identified as performing best against these priorities:

· Connectivity

· Town centre regeneration

· Informal open space

· Community provision

4.3 Taking account of these key themes, 5 projects were identified that it was felt scored highly within those themes and could be delivered using a proportion of held funds.  it is considered that at this stage a pot of around £4.5m should be made available to progress the following projects over the next 3 years (to 2027).

· Ringwood town centre – there are opportunities to invest in strategic projects around the town centre to reflect the proposed development in the area,  The proposed  project (‘Thriving Market Place’) is being developed in partnership with Ringwood Town Council and Hampshire County Council to reinvigorate the Market Place. This project aligns with:

o People Priority 2: Empowering our residents to live healthy, connected and fulfilling lives

o Prosperity Priority 1: Maximising the benefits of inclusive economic growth and investment

o Prosperity Priority 2: Supporting our high-quality business base and economic centres to thrive and grow

· Milford on Sea seafront – There is an opportunity to invest in a strategic project around the current public conveniences. The proposed project will take a holistic view of this frontage in terms of our assets and what opportunities there may be for developments and enhancements The Council are currently awaiting results of a structural survey on the building. As part of the project the whole frontage requirements will need to be considered, particularly with regards to flood and erosion risk measures as detailed in the Christchurch Bay Strategy. This project aligns with:

o People Priority 2: Empowering our residents to live healthy, connected and fulfilling lives

o Place Priority 1: Shaping our place

o Place Priority 2: Protecting our climate, coast and natural world

· Bath Road Lymington – There is a project for the redevelopment of site including play area, recreational habitat mitigation and flood defence works. The land is owned by the Town Council who are keen to see improvements at the site. Flood and erosion matters will need to be considered as part of the masterplanning work. This project aligns with:

o People Priority 2: Empowering our residents to live healthy, connected and fulfilling lives

o Place Priority 2: Protecting our climate, coast and natural world

· Totton town centre regeneration – Through the development of a Town Centre Masterplan, a number of projects could be identified for implementation of both strategic and small scale. This project aligns with:

o People Priority 2: Empowering our residents to live healthy, connected and fulfilling lives

o Place Priority 1: Shaping our place

o Prosperity Priority 1: Maximising the benefits of inclusive economic growth and investment

o Prosperity Priority 2: Supporting our high-quality business base and economic centres to thrive and grow

· Forestry England walkingroutes – The establishment of a wider multiuser trail network using pre-existing gravel tracks and trails to link New Forest communities and places of interest. The project includes new wayfinding and waymarking of the trail network and the upgrade of a number of broken links to connect established gravel tracks.  This project aligns with:

o People Priority 2: Empowering our residents to live healthy, connected and fulfilling lives

o Place Priority 2: Protecting our climate, coast and natural world

4.4 These projects provide a reasonable representation of the prioritises against the ten key strategic themes of projects identified across the plan area, and delivers projects where development has (and will) take place as part of the current Local Plan.

4.5 By identifying a release of £4.5m as this first round of identifying projects at a strategic CIL level, it allows the Council to retain a significant amount of money to review further opportunities and potential funding as part of the Solent Freeport Business Plan and have funding to react should new priorities emerge. Over the 3-year period there will also be the opportunity to identify further funding through the Freeport Delivery Plan and further strategic CIL projects.

4.6 Until a baseline infrastructure position is established, it is acknowledged that there may be some existing infrastructure needs that have yet to be identified. In addition, as the Council embarks on a Local Plan Review, it is likely that additional infrastructure needs will be identified which may be suitable for funding from CIL.
