It is recommended that a s106 contribution of £250,000, associated with the development of Chantry Lodge in Andover, is allocated towards a scheme of public realm, cycling/walking infrastructure and landscape improvements, in line with Andover Town Centre Masterplan objectives, to an area within the River Anton corridor and/or to Western Avenue, and/or linking to Shepherds Spring Lane.

Consideration was given to a report of the Planning Portfolio Holder which proposed the allocation of a s106 contribution of £250,000 towards public realm improvements and cycling/walking infrastructure enhancements in Andover town centre, in line with the objectives of the Andover Town Centre Masterplan (September 2020), to an area within the River Anton corridor, and/or to Western Avenue, and/or linking to Shepherds Spring Lane.

The options for allocating this s106 contribution were set out in the report and assessed, with regard to their deliverability, the CIL Regulation 122 Tests, the impacts of the development on local infrastructure requirements, the Andover Town Centre Masterplan, policy guidance, Test Valley Borough Council Climate Emergency Action Plan and the Corporate Plan.

Having considered the options and for the reasons set out in the report, Cabinet agreed the following:
