Decisions:
The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director for Place presenting the results from the consultation on the future of the former Beecroft Art Gallery Building, Station Road, Westcliff-on-Sea.
Recommended:-
1. That the Council acting as Trustees give permission for officers of the Council to investigate the viability of using the former Gallery Building as artist studios. (This option would further the objects of the Trust and merits further investigation to determine if it would be financially viable and therefore in the best interests of the Trust.)
2. That, if the feasibility study finds that the conversion of the building into artist studios will not be viable, the Trustees should proceed with one of the identified options for disposal (As set out in section 5.1.1 of the submitted report).
Reasons for Decision
To enable the proposed use of the building for an artist studio to be further explored.
Other Options
As set out in section 5.1.1 of the submitted report.
