- Meeting of National Park Authority, Friday 6th September 2019 10.00 am (Item 54/19)
- View the background to item 54/19
Minutes:
The Rural Property Development Manager confirmed that Members would be visiting Warslow Moors as part of the Member’s Tour on 20 September 2019 and would have an opportunity to see the area covered by the report. One of the Authority’s Ecologist was present to answer questions.
The Rural Property Development Manager introduced the report with a short presentation about the estate to provide new Members with background to the Authority owned property and highlighted the Authority’s responsibilities linked to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
The funding outlined in the report had become available unexpectedly and this meant tight deadlines for providing the required information to Natural England.
Members congratulated Officers for the work on this project and the well- presented presentation.
The recommendation as set out in the report was moved and seconded, voted on and carried.
RESOLVED:
1. To complete a Countryside Stewardship agreement with Natural England and accept an offer of capital grant aid of up to £350,000 for the work described in the report.
2. That the Authority may, subject to compliance with procurement standing orders, enter into contracts for the delivery of the work.
