Purpose

To install solar panels on the Bath Sports
& Leisure Centre roof using grant funds awarded by Sport
England (Swimming Pool Support Fund). This first phase includes
funding allocation for a roof survey to confirm the load that the
roof will support and enable the full capacity that was bid for; a
second phase will be approved when a positive outcome is received.
Following consultation with building engineers, it is estimated
that the roof will support approximately 50kwp of solar without
needing confirmation from a roof survey.

Decision

To approve capital project set-up to the value
of £94k to install solar panels and funded by grant money (a
further £79k will be requested subsequently).
