Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The purpose of the report is to seek approval
to award a Business Improvement Grant in Lees district
centre.
Decision:
RESOLVED - That:
•Approve the award of a Business Improvement Grant to:
P. Harrison Architects – in respect of 90a High Street,
Lees
•Note that the Grant Review Panel for Lees recommends the
grant award as set out in the report.
Reasons for the decision:
Option 1 - Do nothing. If the Council chooses
to adopt this approach then the Council’s regeneration
aspirations for Lees District Centre would be delayed. There is
potential that the appearance of these premises and Lees District
Centre could decline further.
Option 2 - Approve the award of the Business Improvement Grant as
summarised in section 2 above. Business Improvement Grant
applicants will enter into a contract with the Council, to ensure
that works are being undertaken satisfactorily with claw back
arrangements for non-compliance. Funding takes place once the
contract is completed and the works completed to the satisfaction
of the Council.
Alternative options considered:
option 1
Other reasons / organisations consulted
Consultation has taken place with the ward
members on the review panel for Lees, who have recommended approval
of the grants.
