Decision details

The Council is required to produce an Outline Business Case (OBC) outlining the options appraisal, cost estimates, affordability assessment and procurement strategy for Brompton Academy in sufficient detail to allow capital funding to be confirmed and gain approval to proceed with the delivery of Brompton Academy via the Partnership for Schools (PfS) Contractors Framework.  Cabinet will be asked to approve the OBC.

Discussion:

This report sought approval to declare part of Temple School site surplus and to add an item to the capital programme.

Councillor Wicks, supported by Councillor Wildey, moved the recommendations set out in paragraph 8 of the report.

Decision:

The Council:

(a)            declared that part of the Temple school site shown edged black on site plan Appendix B of item 17 of the agenda is surplus and available for disposal;

(b)            recommended that a scheme is included in the capital programme, funded from the proceeds of the sale of the surplus Temple site, to fund the variation of the restrictive covenant on the land at New Brompton College and to facilitate the moves of the current occupants of Youth House to their new locations. In the first instance this is a sum of £350,000 for the adaptations to the Temple buildings with a further report on the proposal for relocating the Bradfields post-16 unit.
