Redditch Public Library Change of use – [now to accommodate Jobcentre Plus]; THE COST SO FAR AND FUTURE ESTIMATED COSTS.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Worcestershire County Council,

Redditch Public Library Change of use – [now to accommodate Jobcentre Plus]
THE COST SO FAR AND FUTURE ESTIMATED COSTS.

Introduction
On Tuesday, 23 September 2014, WCC’s Planning and Regulatory Committee resolved that planning permission be granted for the change of use to Redditch Library to a Mixed Use Development including a Library, offices, a Children's Service Area and Partnership Agency Office accommodation.

In 2016 there was another meeting of the Planning and Regulatory Committee this was on Tuesday, 6th December. At this meeting it considered an application under Regulation 3 of the Town and Country Planning Regulations 1992 for a change of use from mixed use D1 (Libraries) and B1 (Offices) to mixed use D1 (Libraries), B1 (Offices) and A2 (Financial and Professional Services) at Redditch Library. The Committee resolved that planning permission be granted for this change of use subject to some conditions.

My questions
1. How much has the County Council spent so far up to the end of July 2017 on the planning and possible implementation of these proposed changes in use?
A detailed break-down of the costs would be appreciated both by myself and colleagues.

2. What is the estimated cost from now for the completion of the actual building plans, public consultation, and submission to Redditch Borough Council’s Planning Committee?
Again a detailed break-down of the costs would be appreciated by me and my colleagues.

3. What is the estimated cost of the actual building work, and when is it likely to start?

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

P. Bladon
