Decision Maker: Cabinet

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

Date of Decision: October 24, 2024

Purpose: The building is a traditional coastal structure with masonry walls and a concrete roof, which has deteriorated due to exposure to the harsh environment and lack of maintenance, causing water damage. Over time, the building has been repurposed from storage units to various uses, such as galleries and bars, but the original structure is inadequate for these functions, resulting in damp issues. Increased public use of the building's flat roofs has led to safety concerns, and planning permission has been granted to replace the roof, add insulation, and install handrails.

Content: Cabinet agreed the following:   The key decision to award a contract with a value in excess of £250k to undertake essential roof improvements to the building structures and the installation of handrails to the upper walkway of the Harbour Arm, Stone Pier, following a procurement exercise;   2.  That the Director of Place shall negotiate the final terms and sign the contract with the successful bidder.
