To receive and consider the report of the Director of Commercial Services.

Decision (taken 15 April 2020)

1.         To approve capital expenditure to deliver the assisted living, community centre, nursery, café, GP surgery and potential pharmacy on the former Eaves Lane bus depot.

2.         To acknowledge that whilst approval for capital expenditure is being sought, only the RIBA stage 3 design and planning will be progressed. The proposed report for Council in July 2020 will provide an opportunity to update the members.

3.         To note the provisional grant sum of £3.720m from Homes England to part fund the development of the assisted living scheme

Reason for the decision

1.         To obtain approval for the capital expenditure to deliver the assisted living, community centre, nursery, café, GP surgery and potential pharmacy on the former Eaves Lane bus depot. Approval will ensure that the scheme is delivered in line with the Homes England funding programme. 

2.         To acknowledge that capital expenditure approval for the recreation ground and proposed houses will be brought to Council in July 2020. This will allow further design works and public consultation to be undertaken (subject to government Covid-19 lockdown and isolation procedures) and to allow further works to be undertaken to identify additional funding.
