only, to confirm the final demolition costs, which have been
assessed on an open book basis and to provide a brief explanation
for the increase in costs.

the council to complete the purchase of the gas holder site from
National Grid and to pay the balance of the actual demolition costs
incurred by National Grid.
Reasons for the decision:
Option 1 - To complete the purchase of the gas
holder site from National Grid and to pay the balance of the actual
demolition costs incurred by National Grid.

demolition, as per the previous approvals.
