Minutes:

The Assistant Director – Housing, Health and Communities said plans had changed since this item had last been brought to the working group. The Council was now in a position to do the work itself, rather than running a complex joint venture.

 

In response to a Member question, the Assistant Director – Housing, Health and Communities said there would probably be up to 4 flats at the property once it had been refurbished. It would be necessary to bring an item to Council to request permission to borrow the funds for the development.

 

Members noted that parking for resident cars and scooters was an important issue.

 

RESOLVED to

·         recommend to Cabinet that the redevelopment of Walden Place is progressed as a council funded and managed project subject to budget availability.

·         create a task and finish group to monitor the progress of the development of Walden Place, subject to the approval of the project by Cabinet.
