Decision Made:

 

That the Director of Built Environment be authorised to issue the Notice to Proceed to Construction to the appointed contractor to commence construction of the A5758 Broom’s Cross Road (Thornton to Switch Island Link), subject to the:

 

(i)      completion of the acquisition of land and rights required for the scheme through either the compulsory purchase process and / or negotiation; and

 

(ii)     discharge of the planning conditions required to be satisfied in advance of construction; and

 

(iii)      confirmation of Full Approval status from the
          Department for Transport.

 

Reasons for Decision:

 

A Notice to Proceed to Construction was required to be issued as part of the contract arrangements for the A5758 Broom’s Cross Road scheme before the contractor appointed to deliver the scheme can commence construction. The Notice to Proceed to Construction had to be issued by the Council’s Project Manager, who is the Director of Built Environment.
