Decision details

The Committee gave consideration to a report outlining the gap funding that existed in the final priority building of the Dunoon Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS).  The CARS was jointly funded by Historic Environment Scotland and Argyll and Bute Council.  The report requested utilisation of an additional £75,000 grant funding from the Private Sector Housing Grant (PSHG) to cover that gap and facilitate the key project.

The Head of Development and Economic Growth advised of an error within paragraph 1.3 of the submitted report where it should have read three ground floor commercial units and two first floor flats and not two ground floor commercial units and two first floor flats.

Decision

The Policy and Resources Committee approved the utilisation of the Private Sector Housing Grant (PSHG) to award an additional £75,000 grant to the 104-110 Argyll Street Dunoon CARS project, thus providing essential gap funding to facilitate the restoration of these buildings.
