Consultation process
The Green Space Team has developed a masterplan for the site, which has been consulted upon with the Friends of Elmfield, local residents, and councillors, all of whom are supportive. The masterplan has been delivered in phases as funding has become available.
The tender has come in under budget, so additional work within the scope of the masterplan will be discussed with Greenfield Ltd to maximise the available budget while works are ongoing on site.
The Council’s Tree Officer and Flooding Officer have been consulted as part of the project.
The Friends of Elmfield successfully raised funding through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) to support the Council’s Green Space Team and this project.
Finance Comments: Confirmed this will be funded from the CIL and UKSPF funding as detailed in this report. Signed: Ela Jankowska – Finance Business Partner
