2.              That Cabinet recommended to Council the approval of additional borrowing of £0.650m for the development of the community facility at Stonebroom.

3.              That Cabinet recommended to Council the inclusion of the changes to the scheme in the HRA Capital Programme.

REASONS FOR DECISION – The regeneration scheme at Stonebroom supports the Council’s commitment in its Council Plan to build, acquire and facilitate the delivery of more high-quality social housing for rent in the district.
