In 2021, the Policy &
Resources Committee approved the Council pursuing a
comprehensive redevelopment of
the site (including Heather House and the Pavilion Building). This
has led to a successful planning application for a new community
centre on the Heather House site and a new-build residential scheme
of 11 dwellings on the Pavilion Building site. To help finance the
new community centre, Officers are seeking approval for a CIL
Community Contribution of £956,420. The scheme is included in
the capital programme, approval is needed for the works cost and to
appoint the contractor to deliver the scheme, as per the planning
application, and to proceed with a tender exercise to procure a
management provider for the proposed new community
centre.
