Decision Maker: Executive Member for Managing our Environment

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Decision:

Acceptance of the grant of £328,750, subject to acceptable grant funding terms and delegated authority be awarded to the Assistant Director for Environmental Services and Climate Change for subsequent approvals and minor amendments to the project

Reasons for the decision:

To enable North Yorkshire Council to receive its allocation of £328,750 from the York & North Yorkshire Combined Authority and support the £2million project to test the replicability of the City Leap model.

Briefings have been held with the Leader, Deputy Leader and Chief Executive who were supportive of the proposal and the low-risk nature of accepting the funding.

Alternative options considered:

Not accepting this grant would mean that delivery of the overall programme would be affected, and overall funding allocated by DESNZ would be at risk of being withdrawn.
