Issue - meetings

To consider the investment, reconfiguration, and refurbishment of the former Red House Museum Gomersal, for short-term holiday letting, and to sustain community access over a series of managed community open days and weekends.

Wards affected: Liversedge and Gomersal

Contact: Anne-Marie Parker, Commercial Business Partner

RESOLVED –

1)    That the business plan, as set out at the exempt appendix to the report, be endorsed and that the commercial proposition be designed to cover operating costs in order to facilitate managed community access, rather than profit.

2)    That approval be given to the allocation of £600k from the One Venue Development Capital Baseline to fund the project, and reprofile the expenditure into the 2021/2022 financial year.

3)    That the frontline building recharge budget, currently funding Red House whilst it is held in the Land Bank, be made available to the project rather than the project funding costs through additional rent income.
