Purpose:

Content: Decision   RESOLVED that the Cabinet recommended to Full Council funding for the Elstree Immersive Experience and Borehamwood & Elstree Film and TV Heritage Centre up to £2,000,000 as recommended by the Community Infrastructure Levy Panel (CILIP) on the 28th August 2025.   Reasons for decision   The projects would provide a new and unique experience celebrating the cultural heritage of Elstree and Borehamwood.   Alternative Options Considered   The Council could have asked for the bid amount to be reduced in order to lower the costs, or alternatively the Council could ask for the bid to be re-submitted once additional information has been sought, both of these options would have potential implications to the timeline and delivery of the projects. The Council could have chosen not to agree the bid and forego any of the associated benefits that are set out within the report.
