Questions under Rule 11.2
Minutes
Councillor Alan Dowden asked the Planning Portfolio Holder the following question:
‘Can the Executive Member for Planning inform the Council, as to the number of Section 38 and Section 278 legal agreement drafts that are still to be completed?’
Councillor Bundy advised that the need for a developer to enter into a legal agreement under “Section 38” of the Highways Act 1980 arose when a developer proposes highway infrastructure for future adoption by the Highway Authority. A “Section 278 Agreement” is also made under provisions in the Highway Act 1980. This was required where a developer might propose works, often the delivery of new highway infrastructure associated with the grant of planning permission, on highway land.
In both instances the developer enters that process directly with the Highway Authority, which is Hampshire County Council.
Test Valley Borough Council does not therefore directly hold information about the number of draft legal agreements that remain incomplete however, the Council would liaise with Hampshire County Council colleagues to provide that information in due course.
The Council understood that there were financial impacts on developers as a consequence of Hampshire County Council adopting their new Commuted Sums policy for the delivery and/or adoption of new highway infrastructure which would come into effect from the 1st July 2025.
As a supplementary question, Councillor Alan Dowden advised he had asked the question to advise Councillors of the process.

- Document Demo Annex 1 19 Feb 2025
- Document Demo Annex 2 19 Feb 2025
- Document Demo Annex 3 19 Feb 2025
Minutes
In accordance with the Council’s Public Participation Scheme, Mr Burley and Mr Flippance each made a statement on the Demolition of Unit 62 - Andover Theatre.
Consideration was given to a report of the Strategic Regeneration and Partnerships (North) which sought approval of the budget for the demolition of Unit 62 at the Chantry Centre, and the subsequent undertaking of works.
The demolition of Unit 62 of the Chantry Centre would enable the delivery of a new theatre in Andover town centre to progress in line with the agreed Levelling Up Fund timetable. In addition, bringing this element forward would reduce site risk in advance of procuring the main construction contractor.
The recommendations were proposed by Councillor P North and seconded by
Councillor Flood.
Resolved:
That a budget of £2.260M be approved, in order to undertake the demolition of Unit 62 of the Chantry Centre.
The Head of Planning Policy and Economic Development be authorised to arrange for all steps to be taken to procure and carry out the works detailed in this report.
That the project to demolish Unit 62 of the Chantry Centre be added to the Council’s Capital Programme.
