Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To enable approval to be given for the completion of feasibility work to establish options and costs to make Marlbrook primary school a three form entry school and to prepare the necessary application documents and reports to support a planning application and any decisions regarding capital expenditure.

Decision:

That:

the interim director of children’s wellbeing be authorised to take all operational decisions necessary to complete feasibility work, including information that is necessary to support a planning application, to a total cost of £210k.

Alternative options considered:

Feasibility work is not completed.  This would not enable a decision to be taken on the future expansion of Marlbrook Primary School.  The expansion has already been considered as part of the council’s capital programme and is an identified scheme approved by full Council.

 

Wards Affected: Red Hill;

Consultees

Some consultation work has taken place and has included school headteachers, staff and governors, the local ward member Cllr Paul Rone, and members of the community. The comments received will inform the options that are put forward through the feasibility work.
