Decision:
 
To authorise appointment of
Stephen Rosevear at Avison Young to undertake the required
amendments to the Regeneration Plan and the 4 Year Investment Plan
at a cost of £22,242 to be paid from the P4N capacity
funding.
 

Reasons for the decision

As Stephen Rosevear has
authored the current document under the previous guidance, it is
rational and sensible that Avison Young are appointed to continue
the various amendments to the document in line with the new
guidance from CLG.
 

Alternative options considered

1)   
Procure alternative consultancy support and
unspecified cost and time without previous knowledge of the
project.
 
2)   
Do not amend the report and forfeit submission to
the P4N programme, effectively cancelling the programme.
