“THE CIVIC CAMPUS SITE HAS GREAT POTENTIAL – ITS TRANSFORMATION WILL BE A GAME CHANGER FOR OUR BOROUGH, DELIVERING NEW HOMES, CONSTRUCTION JOBS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH”
£3.4m funding deal has been agreed with Havant Borough Council by Homes England for a development in the town. The funding has been awarded through the Government’s £450m Local Authority
Accelerated Construction Programme, and is intended to enable the develop- ment of new homes on the Council’s surface car parks at the Civic Campus. The council plans to use the funding to accelerate the delivery of 121
apartments prioritising the use of modern methods of construction. Located in Havant town centre, the one hectare surface level public car park adjoins the council offices and is close to Havant railway station. The existing parking would be relocated through the construction of multi-storey parking on neighbouring surface car parks. Havant Council reportedly has aspirations to regenerate the town centre,
and the acceleration of new housing at the Civic Campus follows the devel- opment of Havant Plaza, which includes public sector facilities, leisure, homes for key workers and commercial office space. Councillor Tim Pike, deputy leader of Havant Borough Council and Cabinet Lead for Finance and Regeneration, said: “We are delighted to receive this funding from Homes England that will kick start Havant Borough Council’s regeneration plans. “The civic campus site has great potential. Its transformation will be a game changer for our borough, delivering new homes, construction jobs and economic growth. I believe it is the start of a regeneration programme that will deliver future prosperity right across our borough.”
