Decision:

On 27th July 2011, Executive Board approved an unsupported borrowing scheme up to £3.01m to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems onto corporate buildings (above Executive Board meeting, minute: 54), and delegated powers to the Director of Resources to authorise spend, of which £1.38m remains today. Selected corporate buildings have met the approval of the Director of City Development on their suitability for PV installation, allowing further detailed building surveys and development of final site business cases. Approval is now required by the Director of Resources on the basis of these business cases to authorise the spend for each of the proposed solar PV installations:
Middleton Park Highways Annex Building, Adel Beck Secure Children Home, St. George Centre OSC, & Tech North.
