Report of the Director of Open Spaces

The Committee considered the report of the Director of Open Spaces and were informed that on the 13th January 2013 the Committee agreed to submit a grant application to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for Round 1 funding for the Kenley Revival Project, which aims to conserve historic airfield structures associated with the Kenley Airfield. On the 11th September the HLF were expected to announce the

result of the application.

Members were informed that to avoid delay in proceeding to the next stage of this project, it was proposed that the Kenley Revival Project could be submitted to the Projects Sub-Committee for Gateway 3-4 Options Appraisal approval on 26th September. The Project Sub-Committee would determine whether to accept the offer of grant funding and proceed with the development phase of the project.

RESOLVED: - That Members:

• Note the forthcoming HLF decision on funding for the Kenley Revival Project.

• That delegated authority be granted to the Director of Open Spaces, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, to approve the Options Appraisal report for presentation at the Project Sub-committee subject to the decision of the HLF.
