Decision details

RESOLVED:

1.      That Cabinet agree to fund project CF235 the full amount requested of £1,000,000 comprised of:

·         £1,000,000 of capital funding towards the development of the pavilion to be paid in staged payments, on evidence of spend.

·         Including 5% to be held by SCC until final evidence is provided of income and expenditure, evaluation and completion (such as building control sign-off).

Reasons for Decisions:

This application has been the subject of a rigorous assessment process by officers, as set out in the body of this report. Officers consider the project to meet the aims and published criteria of the fund and to satisfy the requirements to award funding.

Epsom Sports Club’s (ESC) proposed pavilion at Old School’s Lane will provide a home for community sports and offer long term sustainability for football, hockey, cricket and other sports for all ages. This will address a deficiency in current provision and benefit the local community.

The proposed pavilion facilities will also be used by other community clubs and organisations, ensuring the space is a vibrant hub in the heart of the local community, adjacent to an identified SCC Key Neighbourhood.
