Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
In 2016, a report was considered by Portfolio
Holders with regards to the proposed development at Woodside
Playing Fields. The project was originally defined as part of the
Sports Facilities Strategy which highlighted the potential to
improve this site with a number of enhanced Sports Facilities. A
number of initial opportunities were identified for the
redevelopment of this area.
A significant amount of work has been completed including the
development of a masterplan supported by a detailed budget cost
estimate. Following consultation additional options were evaluated
and a phased approach agreed. The evaluation of options are being
progressed, approval is now required to advance the project and
proceed to appointment of the design team for Phase 1.
Decisions:
Cabinet received a report of the Head of Parks, Open Spaces and Projects, which sought approval for a phased approach in advancing the project and appointing a design team for Phase 1.
Councillor Williams introduced the report. He commented on the good work carried out by the cricket and boxing clubs. Both clubs had been consulted on the plans and officers had tried to incorporate as many of their wishes as possible.
Following comments from the Mayor and Councillor Collett, the Group Head of Community and Environmental Services and Project Manager responded. It was noted that the focus would now be on the delivery of Phase 1, which was estimated to be completed by early 2022. It was confirmed that a stakeholder group would be created during the development phase.
RESOLVED –
1. that the contents of the Cabinet report, specifically the phased approach to executing the programme be noted.
2. that the masterplan be approved.
3. that the next stages and moving to the appointment of a design team for Phase 1 be approved.
