  • Asset Management and Investment Partnership
    ITEM NO: 5 Report To: STRATEGIC CAPITAL AND MONITORING PANEL Date: 13 July 2015 Reporting Officer: Elaine Todd, Assistant Executive Director, Asset and Investment Partnership Management Subject: VISION TAMESIDE PHASE 2 PROGRESS UPDATE Report Summary: A Key Decision was made on 4 February 2015, to progress the Vision Tameside Phase 2 programme. This report is intended to update members of the Panel with progress in respect of the programme and any financial implications. Recommendations: That members of the Panel review the content of the report and recommend to Council the approval of the virement of budgets Links to Community Strategy: Prosperous Tameside Policy Implications: In line with approved policy Financial Implications: The overall costs of the Vision Tameside programme must be contained within the overall net budget of £48,673,794, which (Authorised by the Section 151 was approved in February 2015. Contingency provisions were Officer) made for construction and overall programme related cost pressures as part of this budget allocation. As the programme progresses and firm costs are determined, there will be variations which will require approval. Key elements of the programme, including decant, demolition and lease terminations now have firm costs and the scanning and IT costs have been rescoped. It is important to note that the projected costs are still contained within the overall programme budget however; contingency budgets have been reduced by £946,854. This will leave a construction contingency of £941,316 and an overall contingency of £1,581,548. There are still significant risks to construction costs related to further design development, the exposed Ashton Town hall façade and the cost of the college element of the new building, particularly related to the level of fitted furniture required.

  • Ashton-Under-Lyne Town Centre Strategy
    Ashton-under-Lyne Town Centre Strategy Supplementary Planning Document Consultation Statement This statement has been prepared in order to comply with the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, for the adoption of Supplementary Planning Documents by Local Planning Authorities. Published by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council Planning and Building Control November 2009 Page 43 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 local authorities are requirement to prepare and publish a Consultation Statement for a range of planning policy documents, including Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD’s). This is a reflection of Government’s desire to “strengthen community and stakeholder involvement in the development of local communities”26. The Council formally adopted a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) on 11th July 2006, which sets out how the public will be consulted on new planning policy and significant planning applications. As the Statement of Community Involvement is now adopted, all such planning documents will be required to conform to its provisions. 1.2 This Consultation Statement has been prepared following the adoption of the Statement of Community Involvement, and aims to reflect the intentions of Government planning guidance for reporting on community involvement in the plan making process. It describes the involvement of stakeholders, the community, voluntary organisations and statutory consultees in the preparation of the Ashton-under-Lyne Town Centre Strategy Planning Document Scoping Report, which was the forerunner to the Supplementary Planning Document. The Scoping report was made available during a period of formal public consultation in July 2006 for five weeks, and was also made available to view alongside the Supplementary Planning Document and the Sustainability Appraisal Report, in accordance with the appropriate regulations27 during the 4 week period of public consultation.
