Delivering the Cultural Heart - Gateway 1: Strategic Outline Case

 

 

An update on the development of the Cultural Heart programme as part of the wider Huddersfield Blueprint.

 

Cabinet approval was given on the 22 June 2021 to progress the Cultural Heart to the Strategic Outline Case and the Outline Business Case with the programme to be presented to Cabinet at each of these Gateways for review and approval.

 

The first milestone is Gateway 1 – the Strategic Outline Case which includes the following:

 

  • Vison and mandate

 

  • A short list of options for the Cultural Heart feasibility/viability at the Strategic Outline Case stage with an initial commentary on financials/funding options based on industry best practice and example of other Programmes from elsewhere

 

This report updates members about the Cultural Heart programme and sets out the justification for the programme’s continuation to Gateway 2, the Outline Business Case, which will set out the preferred Masterplan and financial appraisal.
