Royal Pavilion Estate (Phase 1) |
This project to upgrade and refurbish the Corn Exchange and Studio Theatre within the Royal Pavilion Estate was agreed in 2016. The project has experienced significant delays and cost increases due to the main contractor going into administration and subsequently the replacement main contractor went into administration. While the facilities have been open and operating since the summer of 2023, a large number of works and defects have remained uncompleted. The council is focusing on works that will secure the full handover of the building to BDBF and these costs are estimated at £2.060m including contingency. The council will continue to seek financial support for these costs from Partners however cannot delay the works any further. In the absence of external funding the council would need to use borrowing to fund these works. |

Commercial Property Portfolio Repairs |
The building previously occupied by NatWest Bank was subject to a dilapidation assessment to determine a potential claim. During discussions, it became evident that the claim was complicated by the building’s Listed Status and prominent elevation, necessitating consultation with specialists. Following engagements with Heritage England and the Local Planning Authority, the specification was updated in early 2025 to reflect the agreed upon restoration standards and subsequently retendered. The improved understanding of the works has resulted in amending the capital budget required.
