Report HPR2023/026

In February 2023, the Executive approved the procurement of a new multi-disciplinary team (Report No. HPR2023/007) to take forward the delivery of the Regeneration Plan for Crystal Palace Park; the rationale for that report being urgent was due to the timescales associated with the grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which the Council was successful in securing to progress the development phase of the scheme.

This report was a recommendation to award the contract for multi-disciplinary consultancy services to deliver the capital schemes from RIBA Stages 2-7.  The report was marked as Urgent as the project would be utilising grant funding which had timescales attached for delivery. Call in would therefore not apply.

The report also provided an update on the outcome of the advertisement of the Open Space Notice in relation to the proposed disposal by way of a grant of a long lease of Crystal Palace Park to the Crystal Palace Park Trust, pursuant to section 123(2A) of the Local Government Act 1972.

Members of the Executive confirmed that they had received and read the email sent by an interested member of the public.

The report had been scrutinised by the Executive, Resources and Contracts PDS Committee at its meeting on 15 May 2023 and the Committee had supported the recommendations.

RESOLVED: That

1.  The recommendation outlined within the Part 2 report in relation to the award of the works contract for the multi-disciplinary team to deliver the Regeneration Plan be approved.

2.  The representations outlined in relation to the proposed disposal by way of a grant of a long lease of Crystal Palace Park to the Crystal Palace Park Trust, pursuant to section 123(2A) of the Local Government Act 1972 be approved.

3.  After consideration of the objections made, together with the responses to them as contained within the Report, that formal agreement for the disposal of the Open Space Land be agreed
