Report DRR17/025

 

BHAL sought formal consent to the creation of a new Operational Equipment Building at the airport designed to accommodate and protect an increasing amount of operational equipment purchased in recent years. Three operational departments would also be relocated to the new building having outgrown existing facilities due to ongoing recruitment of additional staff.

 

Under the terms of the lease between BHAL and the Council, BHAL were obliged to obtain Council consent which could not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.Consent documentation had been prepared which would be entered into upon approval.

 

It was noted that the Forward Plan (published 25th April 2017) referred to a forthcoming Part 2 Executive decision related to BHAL and consent for construction works. It was explained that on subsequent reflection the matter was one for routine consent. Detailed plans for the new building were difficult to compress into the report and Members were advised of its location.

 

RESOLVED that the recommendation to the Portfolio Holder be supported.
