17 Astmoor Regeneration Programme PDF 178 KB
Minutes:
The Board received a report from the Strategic Director – Enterprise,
Community and Resources, which presented the Astmoor
5-year Regeneration Masterplan and Delivery Strategy and recommended it for
adoption.
It was noted that in March 2017, Executive Board approved the Mersey
Gateway Regeneration Plan Plus (MGRPP), as a way of prioritising resources
in respect of the Council’s physical and economic regeneration activity.
Focussed on eight Regeneration Impact Areas, the Plan set out a cohesive
package of development opportunities and identified the key infrastructure and
enabling projects needed to complement and support the Borough’s economic
growth. The Plan identified the former new town industrial estate of Astmoor as one of the eight Regeneration Impact
Areas.
Following this an Astmoor Annual Delivery Plan
(ADP) was produced to steer the development and implementation of a
comprehensive regeneration programme for the area; this was approved by
Executive Board in June 2018. Appended to the report was the Astmoor Funding Profile 2020.
The report provided Members with detailed information on:
·
the
consultation events in March 2019;
·
the
Discretionary Business Rates Scheme;
·
the
aims and objectives of the Masterplan and Delivery Strategy;
·
progress
to date and the next steps;
·
the
relocation of inappropriate uses on the estate;
·
the
greening of Astmoor; and
·
the way
forward.
RESOLVED: That Executive Board
1)
adopts
the Masterplan and Delivery Strategy for Astmoor;
2)
recommends
to full Council a variation to the capital programme of £1.5m to cover the
costs as outlined in Section 6 of the report; and
3)
approves
the extension to the Discretionary Business Rates Scheme of one year to March
2025.
