REASONS FOR
DECISION
 
To approve further
officer resources and further investment from the Council (on a
case-by-case basis to complete The Avenue development as a
regeneration priority for the Council.
 
OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED BUT REJECTED

option of not completing the Southern Access to The Avenue as
outlined in the Local Plan and various consultations was considered

reputational damage on the Council.

implemented with immediate effect by officers.
