Recommended: That Council agree to:

(i)           Add the estimated £4.727m of costs for the community and library facilities to the Capital Programme with the costs to be funded from the capital receipt received from the future disposal of surplus development land on the Site subject to obtaining DfE consent necessary for such disposal. No capital costs will be incurred until official confirmation of the DfE consent has been received.

(ii)          The estimated £200,000 of costs for urgent repairs and works to the sports facilities are added to the Capital Programme with the costs initially being funded from capital held for the use of the Older Persons’ Accommodation Programme and subsequently being paid back from the capital receipt received from the disposal of development land on the Site.

Reason:     To progress to delivering the Burnholme Health & Wellbeing Campus including the delivery of a Care Home as part of the Older Persons’ Accommodation Programme.
