RESOLVED:
 

1.   
That Cabinet agrees to fund project CF259 for the
full amount requested of £606,443 comprised of:

·           
£606,443 of capital funding towards
the development of the new building, outside area and bicycle
storage to be paid in staged payments, on evidence of
spend

·           
Including 5% to be held by SCC until
final evidence is provided of income and expenditure, evaluation
and completion (such as building control sign-off).

 

Reasons for Decisions:
 
This application has been the subject of a rigorous
assessment process by officers, as set out in the body of this
report. Officers consider the project to meet the aims and
published criteria of the fund and to satisfy the requirements to
award funding.
 
The project aims to turn an existing end-of-life
scout hut, currently not fit for purpose, into a modern and
accessible community hub adjacent to an identified SCC Key
Neighbourhood. Existing nearby community buildings are at capacity
during the day so the new hub would provide much-needed extra
capacity for community groups.
