Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Further to Decision Record dated 24 January
2023 (BES 15/23) it is recommended:
i.to authorise the spend of £20,000 of funding from
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) Local
Investment in Natural Capital (LINC) grant to provide capacity
support within the Resilient Landscapes Yorkshire Community
Interest Company
ii.to delegate authority to the Assistant Director - Environmental
Services and Climate Change, in consultation with the Executive
Member for Managing our Environment to award grant funds, oversee
the implementation of the fund, and to make minor changes to the
programme spend under delegated powers.
To allow the spend of the DEFRA grant money to
deliver a series of pilot demonstration projects, which is a
required output of the North Yorkshire Local Investment in Natural
Capital (LINC) programme.
The only other alternative is not to provide
this capacity funding however this would not assist in the
development of an Investment Plan in Natural Capital for North
Yorkshire which is a requirement of the grant conditions.
