Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Director of Planning and Regulatory Services, (copy enclosed).

The Council considered the report of the Director of Planning and Regulatory Services providing an update on work undertaken by Nautilus Associates on a feasibility study for delivery of an Enterprise Centre in the District.  Endorsement was also sought of the proposed preferred site to enable the consultant to deliver the next stage of the feasibility study brief.

The report provided background information including the purpose of an Enterprise Centre and a summary of the consultants’ interim findings.  It was noted that the final site approval would be subject to a final feasibility report which would be presented to a future meeting of the Council.

RESOLVED

(i)              That the selected preferred site (as detailed in the report) for the Maldon District Enterprise Centre, as recommended by Nautilus Associates in their feasibility study report, be endorsed;

(ii)            That it be noted that the next stage of the feasibility brief will now look at the detailed costings and development proposals based on the preferred site.
