Decision details

Following previous approval given for a capital allocation for the development of a rent-a-roof solar scheme for business, which was subsequently extended to support other specific investment schemes, the Cabinet will be asked to consider extending this allocation further to cover energy efficiency and renewable energy schemes delivering similar financial and environmental returns.

RESOLVED:

That following the continued success of the Council’s policy to invest and support sustainable energy solutions under the West Suffolk Community Energy Plan, Cabinet approves that the existing delegations are extended, so that the Service Manager (Environmental Health), in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Planning and Growth, is allowed to authorise the current nominated capital allocation to be spent on any energy-related investment opportunities where they are in line with the Council’s agreed financial returns and strategic objectives.
