Agenda item - Greater Brighton Investment Programme - 2016/17 Project Pipeline

Report of Chair, Greater Brighton Officer Programme Board (copy attached)

20.1      The Board considered a report that outlined the proposed project pipeline for projects within the Greater Brighton Investment Programme that were scheduled to start in 2016/17 and could form part of the Coast to Capital’s LEP bid for funding from Round 2 of the Local Growth Fund. The report also outlined the proposed list of projects for submission to the LEP for loan financing through the LEP’s allocation of £88m Public Works Board facility.

20.2      Councillor Wall noted that there was currently no prioritisation in the list of projects.

20.3      The Head of City Regeneration clarified that it was not deemed necessary to rank the projects as it was very early in the project timeline.

20.4      RESOLVED- That the Greater Brighton Economic Board:

1)     Agrees the project pipeline for the 2016/17 Greater Brighton Investment Programme, recognising the new projects may come forward

2)     Requests that the Greater Brighton Officer Programme Board develops full business cases for each of the pipeline projects

3)     Agrees to submit the list of proposals outlined in para 3.7 to the LEP for consideration for Public Loan Work Board facility
