          The Board considered a report of the Executive Director, Environment and Regeneration, that provided an update on the work of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Homes England, to create a Strategic Place Partnership for the City Region. The new partnership model would provide improved governance arrangements to prioritise and coordinate support and investment for residential-led development and housing renewal projects across the Liverpool City Region. The report sought approval to take the necessary steps to contribute to formation of the new Partnership.

1)    note the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Homes England are working with local authority partners to create a Strategic Place Partnership for the Liverpool City Region;

2)    approves entering into a Strategic Place Partnership Memorandum of Understanding with partners, leading to production of a Business Plan and new governance arrangements to be established; and

3)    provides delegated authority to the Director of Economy, Enterprise and Property, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Climate Change to agree details for the formation of the Strategic Place Partnership.
