1. Summary

1.1 The following decision is sought:

That the Cabinet gives approval for the County Council to enter into an agreement with the organisations involved in the Rowner Renewal Partnership, on the basis set out in the exempt report of the Chief Executive and Director of Property Business and Regulatory Service, to secure the implementation of regeneration proposals.

2. Reason

2.1 To make a decision that the County Council provides financial support in the form of a capital grant to the Rowner Renewal Partnership to support regeneration to deliver a safer and more secure community, to maximise the wellbeing of those who live there and to enhance their quality of place.

3. Other options considered and rejected

3.1 The County Council provided the initiative for this project with Gosport Borough Council to establish whether a viable regeneration vehicle for Rowner could be identified. The Rowner Renewal Partnership brings together the partners necessary to overcome the barriers to regeneration and in particular the earlier funding shortfall. The alternative of not supporting the RRP would mean that regeneration could not proceed.

4. Conflicts of interest declared by the decision maker or other Executive Member consulted - none.

5. Dispensation granted by the Standards Committee - not applicable.

6. Reason(s) for the matter being dealt with if urgent - not applicable.
