Options for the store between 67 & 67A St Andrews Road Portslade (aka Portslade Police Station)
Decision Maker: Policy & Resources Committee (pre 2015)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
This report sets out the options for the use
of the building formerly used as the police station in Portslade.
This building is held with the Housing Revenue Account
(HRA).
Decision:
That the Committee agrees that Officers should proceed with the option to convert the building into one wheelchair accessible four bedroom family dwelling after six months (from the date of this decision) if the Brighton & Hove Heritage Commission are unable to provide a community lead heritage provision.
Reasons for the decision:
The delivery of new homes helps to meet the City’s strategic objectives as set out in the Council’s Housing Strategy and City Plan. This is an excellent opportunity to provide a much needed wheelchair accessible home for rent in one of the few areas of the city that can provide level access and physical transport links for a disabled resident.
This project will provide a much needed fully accessible home for a family, while retaining its distinctive, historical appearance.
Alternative options considered:
The initial feasibility appraisal in 2011 highlighted the alternative options (please see appendix 1 & 1a. below).
