In order to realise this ambition and to deliver the project, the first phase requires the acquisition of the site.

The report set out full details, including financial implications, of the proposed land to be acquired.

Resolved – (a) That the relevant capital programme adjustments, as set out in the report, be approved, and (b) that the acquisition of land, as detailed in the report, be approved.
