Issue - meetings

Further to Minute No. 126 of 22^nd January, 2007, Zahara Siddique, Project Manager, submitted an update on progress to date and identified the next steps in moving a partnership framework forward.

A workshop session had been held with Eye Consultants who had successfully developed and delivered regenerative frameworks in other parts of the country.  It provided an opportunity to review previous regeneration activity in Dalton, discuss in detail the current issues present within the housing market, the emerging strategy being developed through detailed masterplanning and key opportunities presented in Dalton.

2 options were set out for the proposed partnership framework in Dalton, both of which involved packaging sites to attract the private sector to commit to a long term partnership to strategically develop sites but also to invest in the wider regeneration plans for the area.

Agreed:-  (1)  That the report be noted.

(2)  That a further report be submitted to the Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and the Regeneration and Asset Management Board setting out Asset Management considerations and agree an approach to support the proposed Partnership framework.

(3)  That the partnering arrangement set out in option 2 of the report submitted be supported.
