Decision details

Vine is an adult education service for young people (aged 19-25) with an Education Health and Care Plan.  This proposal concerns the construction of a new building for Vine on a new site. This will enable Vine to move out of the existing building which is no longer fit for purpose.

The Director of Children and Families submitted a report which outlined a proposal to create new purpose-built premises to expand and re-house The Vine educational centre for young people with complex special educational needs aged 19-25.

RESOLVED –

(a)  That the proposal for new purpose built premises to house a commissioned service providing adult education for young people aged 19-25 with an Education Health and Care Plan, be approved;

(b)  That the current budget requirement to deliver the scheme of £10.8m, be noted, and that the proposal to delegate the necessary authority for the approval of future design and cost reports in relation to the project to the Director of Children and Families (and/or if appropriate, in consultation with School Places Programme Board), be approved;

(c)  That it be noted that the responsible officer for the implementation of such matters is the Head of Learning Inclusion.

Planning permission consultation
