It was resolved –
· To authorise Officers to finalise the draft Outline Business Case (OBC)
· To delegate authority to the Chief Executive in consultation with the Leader and Portfolio Holder for Economic Development, the Director of Function (Council Business)/Monitoring Officer and Director of Function (Resources)/Section 151 Officer to sign-off and submit the OBC for approval by UK and Welsh Governments.
· To agree that the decision be exempted from call-in (with the agreement of the Council Chair) as any call-in could risk submission of the Outline Business Case being presented to both Governments.
