Decision details

In August 2017 the Leader approved the Crawley Growth Programme LDR04 17.18 and following approval of the business case by the West Sussex Local Enterprise Partnership, delegated authority to the Executive Director Economy, Infrastructure and Environment to progress the projects (now Executive Director of Place Services). In December 2017 OKD03(17-18) the Executive Director Economy, Infrastructure and Environment (now Executive Director of Place Services) agreed Crawley Growth Programme project funding allocations and delivery governance.

Much progress has been made since December 2017 and a number of projects have been developed, designed and delivered under the guidance of the Crawley Growth Board.

The Executive Director of Place Services will approve amendments to project funding allocations, within the overall Programme funding allocation, and project governance to reflect current estimates and delivery routes supported by the Crawley Growth Board.

That, subject to the approval of the report attached as Appendix B by Crawley Borough Council (CBC) Cabinet on 26th June, the Executive Director for Place Services (formerly Executive Director for Economy, Infrastructure and Environment) approves:

i)             revised delivery governance for the provision of commercial space in Crawley Town Centre, with CBC taking on the role as contractual lead for the project as set out in paragraph 2.1

ii)           updated funding arrangements between WSCC and CBC to ensure effective delivery of the CGP, as identified in Appendix A.

iii)          a commitment to allocate the WSCC funding identified for the CGP over a period through to March 31st 2025 broadly in accordance with the indicative spend profile set out in paragraph 4.6.
