Key Challenges • Land Ownership • Management & Maintenance • Implementation
Land Ownership • Complex issue – fragmented ownerships • Each site has its own specific issues - sequencing and programming of the works need to be planned carefully • Clarity on lottery requirements needed urgently
Implementation • Current projection – 5 year build profile • To consider if ICP is to build as much as possible or pass responsibility for construction onto private developers • To incorporate responsibility for delivery of parts of the project within new regeneration plans • Funding, delivery and legal mechanism for carrying out future works
Management & Maintenance • Build on previous experience - lessons learned • Strategic management options might include: • Piecemeal approach focused on landowner with each managing their own site. This would need agreement to adhere to maintenance regime; • By local authority area under their current arrangements and adding the park to their portfolios; • One management contract for the whole park – various options include giving to existing provider from one of areas, open tender, endowment as per Land Restoration Trust model or bespoke URC Trust • Funding, delivery and legal mechanism required for the ongoing management and maintenance of completed works. • Agreement needed on strategic option – end Jan ‘07
