Report No.133/2019

Report No. 133/2019 was received from the Chief Executive.

Mrs Briggs, Chief Executive, introduced the report the purpose of which was to provide Cabinet with a progress report on the St George’s Barracks project further to the report of March 2018.

During discussions the following points were noted:

·         The Council was still awaiting the outcome of its submission for HIF funding and continued to press Homes England for a decision.

·         Meetings for the sub groups of the Evolving Masterplan had now been set up and were progressing.

·         The £150k funding that the Council received from the Garden Communities Programme needed to be spent in the current financial year as future funding would be dependent on the ability to spend.

·         Mr Brown reminded colleagues that an update on the Local Plan had been given at the Council meeting on 10 September and that the full text of that report had been included with the minutes.
