RECEIVED the report updating on the work of Regeneration Working Group, introduced by Mark Hopson, Head of Regeneration and Development, Alexandra Park and Palace, as laid out in the report (pages 93- 99 of the agenda pack). 

 

In response to questions the following was NOTED

 

  • It was expected that English Heritage would provide feedback on the Trust’s bid for funding before Christmas.
  • Some Board members commended the high quality, coherent plans for the future of the Palace.
  • The Conservation Area Architect would be recruited as part of a personal procurement process via one of five leading conservation practices.
  • Consultation had so far generally been focused on gaining public opinion but  wider consultation would take place and feed into the strategic framework.
  • The bid for funding from the Council and (paragraph 6.5) and the bid for Heritage Lottery funding (paragraph 8.3) would run in parallel but the Haringey bid was to fund the regeneration project whereas for Heritage Lottery Funds English Heritage would need to see a detailed plan for specific development and refurbishment.
