The Committee considered the Strategic Director and Principle Conservation Officer's report which outlined an opportunity to lever in funding for the Architectural Heritage Fund to support the development stage of any future renovation of the North West Tower, which will include exploring the existing architectural sketch scheme and concept for conversion, considering the options and business case for reuse and future funding opportunities. The report recommended that a contribution of £9,250 is made from the Council's Special projects Reserve to support an application to the Architectural Heritage Fund to enable development work which will progress the full repair and reuse of the North West Tower.
Members were advised that the application would be developed and submitted by the Great Yarmouth preservation trust as a local Authority is not able to directly access this funding.
RESOLVED :
That approval be given to the allocation of £9,250 from the Council's Special Projects Reserve to support an application o the Architectural Heritage Fund to enable development work which will progress the full repair and reuse of the North West Tower.
