Purpose: To seek approval to provide PVC Aeroplane Storage Units at Solent Airport to support General Aviation.   To provide a self-sustaining solution to the shortage of aeroplane storage space at Solent Airport, Daedalus.  This will also in turn support the future delivery of Swordfish Business Park by relocating tenants from existing hangars which are likely to need to be demolished.   

Content: RESOLVED that the Executive agrees to:   (a)  the capital budget to fund the construction of the PVC Aeroplane Storage Units at Solent Airport Daedalus; and   (b)  delegate authority to the Director of Planning and Regeneration following consultation with the Executive Member for Policy and Resources to award each of the contracts for the three phases of construction as demand dictates.
