To consider the report of the interim head of development and regeneration. 

Minutes:

Cabinet considered the interim head of development and regeneration’s report on a request by Shrivenham Parish Council for section 106 funding towards a new sports pavilion in the village. 

 

The report highlighted that while Shrivenham’s Memorial Hall was of insufficient size and structure to cater for the needs of an expanding village, the building was not able to provide additional space for changing and showering facilities due to its listed status.  A new sports pavilion would provide accessible sporting and community facilities needed for the local community. 

 

Cabinet was satisfied that this was a worthwhile project and the risks identified in the report could be mitigated.  Cabinet supported the creation of a budget of £378,537.80 for this project.
