Decision details
The Archway Project: World Heritage Centre and Roman Baths Learning Centre
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member - Economic Development
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To provide the Heritage Lottery Fund with a written up-front commitment to the World Heritage Centre and Roman Baths Learning Centre created by the Archway Project for a minimum of 25 years.
Decision:
The Cabinet Member agrees that the Council will run the World Heritage Centre and Roman Baths Learning Centre created by the Archway Project for a minimum of 25 years, subject to Council review of this policy each financial year through business planning as part of its annual budget setting process.
Reasons for the decision:
To have the best chance of securing a grant from HLF, it is prudent to give them the assurance they seek. It is important for the case officer to have this confirmation at the time they present the Archway Project application to the HLF trustees.
Alternative options considered:
Not providing HLF the “up-front assurance” that it has requested will place the Archway Project at significant risk of not securing the funding.
