Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director – Enterprise, Community and Resources, which sought approval on the proposed Arley Woodland and Bankfield Green Park Masterplan. 

The proposals would see a comprehensive set of improvements to the existing playing fields and open space at Arley Drive and land north of Bankfield Road.  Approval was also sought to deliver the project in line with the Masterplan, including making any suitable grant applications that may be required.

The report outlined the history of the site; current facilities and usage; access problems and its poor infrastructure.  The five key elements to the Masterplan proposals and budget requirements were also discussed.  Members were referred to appendices 1, 2 and 3 which showed the existing site plan, Arley Drive Playing Fields Site photographs and the Masterplan.

RESOLVED: That the Board:

1)    approves the Masterplan; and

2)    gives delegated authority to the Strategic Director – Enterprise, Community and Resources, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Environment and Urban Renewal, to progress the Arley Woodland Park project and prepare all necessary information for suitable grant applications.
