Agenda item

Report from the Strategic Director for Regeneration and Environment.

Recommendations:

That Cabinet:

1.    Approves the Council entering into the proposed Section 2 Funding Agreement and Development Agreement and the subsequent property lease agreements in order to facilitate the development of the proposed Medical Centre.

2.    Authorises the Assistant Director for Planning, Regeneration and Transport in consultation with the Assistant Director for Legal Services to negotiate the terms and conditions of the Section 2 Funding Agreement, subject to final approval by the Section 151 Officer to facilitate the acceptance of funding and its subsequent distribution.

3.    Authorises the Assistant Director for Planning, Regeneration and Transport in consultation with the Assistant Director for Legal Services to negotiate the terms and conditions of the proposed property leases, both as Landlord and Tenant, in order to comply with the Section 2 Funding Agreement.

Consideration was given to the report which summarised the request by what was the Rotherham Clinical Commissioning Group (the CCG), now the South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB), for the Council to act as a ‘Partner’ to facilitate the development of a proposed new medical centre at the Olive Lane development within the new Waverley Community. The report detailed the reasons why the ICB had made the request and the issues arising in relation to the Council entering into the Funding and Development Agreement.

It was explained that once built the Council would lease the facility back to the provider and should the ICB gain the ability to hold the asset in the future, a proposal to transfer it could be considered.
