EX.123/22
(Key Decision KD.19/22)

Portfolio     Leader

Relevant Scrutiny Panel      Place Panel

Subject Matter

The Leader presented an update on progress of the Citadels Project which was to be delivered by the University of Cumbria and partly funded by the Borderlands Growth Deal (ED.22/22).

The Leader moved the recommendations as set out in the report and Economy, Enterprise and Housing Portfolio Holder seconded them.

Summary of options rejected

The alternative option would be not to go ahead with the Scheme including the repurposing of the Grade 1 Listed Citadels and of the development of the UofC Campus. This would not be optimal because it did not address the Council’s objectives for economic growth and priorities to drive regeneration and transformation of the city centre, promoting Carlisle as a place to live, work and visit.

DECISION
That the Executive:
1. Approved the making of a Compulsory Purchase Order (“CPO”) under section 226(1)(a) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for the acquisition of land and rights within the area edged red on the plan at Appendix 1 for the purposes of facilitating development, redevelopment and improvement of the Order Land (ED.22/22); and,
2. Authorised the delegated authority for the Corporate Director of Economic Development following consultation with the Leader of the Council, Portfolio Holder for Economy Enterprise and Housing, and Corporate Director of Governance & Regulatory Services, to effect the making, confirmation, and implementation of the CPO and to take all necessary steps to give effect to the CPO in respect of the Order Land including, but not limited to, the following procedural steps:
i. finalise a Statement of Reasons setting out the Council's reasons for making the CPO;
ii. making the CPO, the publication and service of any press, site and individual notices and other correspondence for such making;
iii. acquire all interests within the Order Land as may be necessary to facilitate the Scheme, either by agreement or compulsorily, including entering into negotiations with any third parties for the acquisition of their land interests; the payment of compensation and dealing with any blight notices served in connection with the CPO;
iv. approve agreements with landowners or statutory undertakers as applicable, setting out the terms for withdrawal of any objections to the CPO, including where appropriate seeking exclusion of land from the CPO;
v. make any necessary additions, deletions, or amendments to the Order Land and to seek any requisite modifications to the CPO Order and any CPO maps (if required)
vi. the preparation and presentation of the Council's case at any Public Inquiry which may be necessary.
vii. seek confirmation of the CPO by the Secretary of State (or, if permitted, by the Council pursuant to Section 14A of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981) (the 1981 Act);
viii. in the event the order is confirmed, publication and service of notices of confirmation of the CPO and thereafter to execute and serve any general vesting declarations and/or notices to treat and notices of entry, and any other notices or correspondence to acquire those interests within the area, including, if required, High Court Enforcement Officer notices; and
ix. all steps in any legal proceedings related to the Order including referral and conduct of disputes, relating to compulsory purchase compensation, to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) and/or the courts and any appeals.
A.3 Pdf VICTORIAN HEALTH SUITE (TURKISH BATHS) FUTURE USE (156Kb)

(Key Decision)

(The Leader has agreed to this Key Decision item being considered at this meeting, although not in the Notice of Executive Key Decisions)

The Deputy Chief Executive to submit a report implications and options for the Victorian Health Suite (Turkish Baths) after the Leisure Operator (GLL) moves to the new facilities at The Sands Centre.
(Copy report CS.31/22 herewith)


EX.121/22

(Key Decision) 

(The Leader agreed to this Key Decision item being considered at this meeting, although it was not in the Notice of Executive Key Decisions)

Portfolio     Leader / Culture, Heritage and Leisure

Relevant Scrutiny Panel     People Panel

Subject Matter

The Culture, Heritage and Leisure Portfolio Holder submitted the implications and options for the Victoria Health Suite (Turkish Baths) after the Leisure Operator (GLL) moved to the new facilities at The Sands Centre.

The report set out the background, details of the operation of the facility which stated that if the building could be split and building management arrangements put in place the net cost was estimated at circa £26,457 per month, however, this was an estimate and the City Council would be liable for further costs should utility costs rise or attendance drop.  The report also set out building maintenance considerations including the costs to replace the steam generator and the installation of fire suppressant systems.  On the basis of the associated costs and technical challenges the Culture, Heritage and Leisure Portfolio Holder considered it inappropriate to recommend the continued operation of the facility following the closure of the 1970's pool site and its demolition.  

The Culture, Heritage and Leisure Portfolio Holder moved that the leisure offer of the Turkish Baths be temporarily suspended following GLL staff ceasing to operate The Pools and that the facility be mothballed.  The proposal was seconded by the Communities, Health and Wellbeing Portfolio Holder.

Summary of options rejected     To continue operating the leisure offer at the Turkish Baths until such time as demolition of The Pools commenced.  

DECISION

That the leisure offer of the Turkish Baths be temporarily suspended following GLL staff ceasing to operate The Pools and that the facility be mothballed.

Reason for Decision

To address the future use of the Victorian Health Suite (Turkish Baths). 

The meeting adjourned at 16:04 and reconvened at 16:08.
