- Published justification
The regeneration of Wolverton Town Centre has been a priority for the Authority for over 2 decades and has been included in the Council Plan priority for years. The Agora site is central to the regeneration. Wolverton Town Centre Neighbourhood Plan also identifies the Agora site as a priority redevelopment in Wolverton. The initial expectation was for the market to deliver the regeneration. As a result of high costs of delivery the market has consistently failed to deliver the regeneration meaning that the Council Plan priority for this site has been unachievable for many years and therefore depriving the area's residents and the Authority of the benefits of the regeneration. The Authority has had to step in to progress this Council Plan priority and will be procuring and entering into a contract for the construction of the regeneration scheme. The proposed contractor for the development management services, TOWN, is critical to the successful delivery of the regeneration of the site in that TOWN was originally anticipated to deliver the regeneration of the site but could not proceed due to viability issues despite exchanging contracts conditionally to acquire the Authority's land for the regeneration. The detailed scheme for the regeneration of the site and design has been developed by TOWN and planning permission has been granted for the scheme subject to completion of a S106 agreement. The planning permission application for the scheme was submitted by TOWN prior to the Authority's decision to conduct the regeneration. TOWN has related intellectual property rights and has in-depth knowledge and the technical skills required to successfully manage the development and delivery of the scheme having developed the scheme and having been involved in the plans to deliver the scheme for over 4 years prior to the Authority's decision.
