Background - Cabinet Report 18/2018 sets out
the following:
Item 4.1 The Council has considered extending an existing property
which it owns. If this is shown to be feasible following further
technical work, it is proposed that the funding for this could be
top sliced from the £420,000 capital budget prior to the
bidding process.
Item 4.3 The target would include any extension of a council owned
property authorised prior to the bidding process. Further work
would be needed before a budget could be set, but the approximate
combined cost of an extension is likely around £115,000 if a
2 storey extension is required.
Feasibility has been carried out using 3 Design options, with the
2nd design option (Both options appended to this document) being
decided by the Head of Service for Planning as being the preferred
option. To move the project forward the initial cost for the
Feasibility Study (£2,500) has been treated as revenue and
funded by Property Services but since this project is now moving
forward it will capitalised.
Cost estimates derived as part of the Feasibility Study have been
compiled and the option 2 extension is costed at circa £176K
which includes Build cost (£142K), Preliminaries, OHP,
contingency along with Project management costs, Planning
