Purpose: The accommodation review business case examines the council’s office assets and outlines options for the future of BRTH. The building is currently underutilised and faces challenges related to running costs, condition, accessibility, and privacy.  These factors must be considered alongside service delivery needs, strategic priorities, and feedback from members and the public. On balance, the recommendation is to retain BRTH for the remainder of Arun District Council’s tenure, allowing the successor unitary council to determine its future accommodation requirements. However, there has been a recent expression of interest from BRTC to purchase the asset which it is proposed be explored and any offer received considered in accordance with the CAT Policy.
