That Cabinet:

1.     
Authorised the Executive Director Growth & Regeneration (with
the agreement of the S151 Officer, and in consultation with Cabinet
Member for Finance, Governance & Performance, and Cabinet
Member for Housing Delivery and Homes) to take all steps required
to negotiate terms and enter into an agreement with the Guinness
Partnership for the drawdown and spend of Strategic CIL funds of up
to £1.5m to deliver the neighbourhood police facility on the
Trinity Road Police Station scheme.

Noted strategic CIL will only be committed when Guinness has
determined that the scheme is viable and has commenced work on

finalising any funding agreement, when a full and detailed final
viability appraisal from Guinness has been provided and an
agreement has been made internally as to how much shall be
allocated.
