The Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Board addressed Cabinet with regards to the background of the discussion at the recent meeting of the Board and further to this advised that the Board had made the following recommendation at their recent meeting:
The Overview and Scrutiny Board recommend that Cabinet pause its support of the project and reconsider its decision until such time as that the commercial rationale that underpins it be reviewed in light of the planning constraints that call into question the commercial viability of increased revenue originally projected.
The Leader thanked the Chairman of the Overview and Scrutiny Board for the Boards recommendation and referred to the questions and statements which had been received in relation to this item (as set out in Minute No. 179) further to this the Leader then read out a statement submitted from the Ward Councillor, Councillor Nigel Brooks (a copy of this statement as referred to in Minute No. 179 above has been published on the Councils website).

Cabinet spoke in support of the pause, and felt that the pause would enable further engagement with those who are concerned.
