(The closing date for receipt of public questions is 12 noon on 13th November) Minutes: 103.1 The Chairman noted that four public questions had been received and welcomed Mr. Hawtree, Mr Furness, Mr Poole and Valerie Paynter to the meeting. The Chairman invited Mr Hawtree to put his question.
103.2Mr. Hawtree thanked the Chairman and asked the following question:
103.3 ‘Can Councillor Mears please confirm that the closing date for public consultation about the Libraries Plan has been extended until December 31st?’
103.4 The Chairman invited Councillor Smith to respond. Councillor Smith replied as follows:
103.5 ‘I can confirm that the closing date for public consultation on the Libraries Plan has been extended to the 31 December 2008.’
103.6 Anticipating a supplementary query Councillor Smith offered additional information as to the opening hours of libraries and the book fund.
103.6 The Chairman noted that Mr. Hawtree had the right to pose one supplementary question and invited him to put a further question.
103.6 Mr. Hawtree asked if the final Libraries Plan would be presented to the Culture & Tourism Cabinet Member Meeting before being offered to full Council for determination.
103.7 Councillor Smith replied that the final plan would be submitted to Council direct.
103.8 The Chairman invited Mr Furness to put his question.
103.9 Mr. Furness thanked the Chairman and asked the following question:
103.10 ‘Could Councillor Mears please tell us how many of the conditions within the King Alfred planning permission were met by Karis?’
103.10 The Chairman invited Councillor Kemble to respond. Councillor Kemble replied as follows:
103.11 ‘Of the 48 planning (of a total of 98) conditions needed before Karis/ING could start work on the King Alfred site, only one planning condition was approved. The condition met was for the highway Stopping Up order which went directly to the Government Office for the South East for a decision and was approved in October. However, as the Karis/ING scheme is no longer going to take place, this order is no longer valid.’
103.12 The Chairman noted that Mr. Furness had the right to pose one supplementary question and invited him to put a further question.
103.13 Mr Furness felt the current situation was due to the breakdown of the developers’ plans rather than the current economic crisis. He suggested that in the time it had taken for the scheme to dissolve a previous version could have been completed. He asked, whilst alternatives were being considered, whether it would be possible for the bowling alley to be refurbished and the water temperature of the pool to be lowered.
103.14 Councillor Kemble offered a written response to these technical points.
103.15 The Chairman invited Mr Poole to put his question.
103.16 Mr Poole thanked the Chairman and asked the following question.
103.16 ‘The Council has neglected both the King Alfred and Brighton Centre in the hope of redevelopment. Both are vital to residents. Surely it would be wrong to re-direct any funds to the Brighton Centre, at the expense of the King Alfred, if Hove is an equal partner in the city?’
103.17 The Chairman replied, ‘The Brighton Centre remains this administration’s number one priority for redevelopment and as we have also made clear with the report brought to Cabinet today on the King Alfred – keeping the King Alfred open is also a high priority for us. The Council’s contribution towards the redevelopment of the Brighton Centre is being financed through prudential borrowing, not from taking funding from other projects. Funds that have been allocated for the King Alfred will remain with the King Alfred.’
103.19 The Chairman noted that Mr. Poole had the right to pose one supplementary question and invited him to put a further question.
103.20 Mr Poole noted that the estimates for the complete refurbishment of the King Alfred Sports Centre were quoted as being in the region of 16 million pounds. He asked where these figures had come from.
103.21 The Chairman noted a report that had been prepared for a meeting of the (now defunct) Policy & Resources Committee in 2003. The figures being discussed had been included in the report when considering proposals for development on the King Alfred site.
103.22 The Chairman invited Valerie Paynter to put her question.
103.23 Valerie thanked the Chairman and asked the following question.
103.24 ‘Given that each annual Budget allocates some £50 million to Capital Funding, is there any reason why some part of that sum could not be allocated as part or total payment of a refurbishment, a creative makeover by appointed architects or even a redevelopment incorporating something like a high school which could share sports facilities with King Alfred?’
103.25The Chairman invited Councillor Kemble to respond. Councillor Kemble replied as follows:
103.26 The capital programme for the council is in the region of £55m for 2008/09 and incorporates education, housing, transport, social care, culture and the environment. £10 million of this money is earmarked for education projects. The total funding is provided from a number of sources including government grants, borrowing, revenue contributions and capital receipts. Much of the funding, such as government grants and Housing Revenue Account expenditure, are ringfenced, which means that the conditions of the funding require that it is spent on the services identified. This all adds up to very limited flexibility on funds.
103.27Creative makeovers or refurbishments still cost very significant amounts of money. Having said this, we need to review all the available options we have and are not excluding any possibilities at this stage. We will be doing this in consultation with local residents at the earliest possible point in the process - this time, they must not feel as though they are having a scheme imposed upon them.
103.28On the specific question of the high school, there is no identified need for an additional secondary school in Brighton & Hove at the current point in time.
103.29 The Chairman noted that Valerie had the right to pose one supplementary question and invited her to put a further question.
103.30 Valerie asked; ‘Over recent years it has become very clear that tall buildings on the site of the King Alfred or, indeed, anywhere along the seafront, would destroy rather than enhance any part of Hove or the city. The King Alfred/RNR site was designated a tall building node for the purposed of redevelopment by the previous Administration and I wonder if the present Administration might be minded to revisit that anomaly with a view to removing that designation.’
103.31 Councillor Kemble responded that consideration was being given as to the future use of the site and that he would speak with colleagues about the suggestion. |

Additional documents: Decision: That the information contained in paragraph’s 3.0 to 3.5 regarding the Karis/ING be noted.

Minutes: 111.1 The Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Environment and the Interim Director of Finance and Resources in respect of refurbishment of the King Alfred Leisure Centre and the redevelopment of the whole King Alfred/RNR site (for copy see minute book).
111.2 Councillor Mitchell noted that there had been suggestions from local councillors that a primary school might be developed on the site. She asked if this was a serious proposal.
111.3 Councillor Kemble commented that the Local Plan did not allow for a school to be developed on the site.

111.6 Councillor Mitchell asked when plans would be produced that considered the future of the site.
111.7 Councillor Mears noted that until the current agreement with the Developer had ceased it would have been inappropriate for the Administration to be publicly discussing alternative plans.

111.8 Councillor Mears invited Councillor Taylor to address the meeting.
111.9 Councillor Taylor was sorry that the opportunity to develop low cost housing had been lost.

He suggested that any new plans should take heed of the 2004 planning brief.
111.10 RESOLVED - That having considered the information and the reasons set out in the report, the Cabinet accepted the following recommendations:
(1) That the it be noted that the initial condition assessments and surveys of the King Alfred Leisure Centre have identified approximately £1.5 million of health and safety and maintenance works as detailed in Part B of Appendix 1 to keep the building operational.
(2) That an allocation of £859,000 be approved to the capital programme (from the £2m capital reserves identified for affordable housing on the King Alfred site) to carry out the urgent health and safety items indicated in Part A of Appendix 1. |
