b) The Service Director for Education, Development and Skills will be authorised to take all operational decisions necessary to deliver the works.

Alternative options considered:

1. Not to extend the Language and Communication Centre (LCC). This is not recommended as the LCC is currently over-capacity and there is an increasing need for spaces at the centre. The extension will resolve the current over-capacity and provide new additional spaces.
