Seaford Health Hub

03/04/2020 - Seaford Health Hub

(1)     That, at this time, the Council does not progress the proposed development on the Downs Site of a Health Hub, unless and until all the following conditions have been satisfied:

 

(i)     It is established within a reasonable timescale (i.e.12 months) by the NHS that there is no practical prospect of new GP premises being provided in Seaford through the redevelopment of the Seaford Medical Practice’s existing Dane Road site, together with the Richmond Road car park. For this purpose the Cabinet should be satisfied that the NHS has diligently carried out a full analysis of the viability of this option which should include all necessary surveys.

(ii)    Any revised design for the Downs Site excludes the residential and retail elements. 

 

(2)     The financial model for the revised design specified at point ii) above must clearly demonstrate that the Council will make a suitable financial return commensurate with the risks involved, and that the required investment will not prevent the Council from investing in higher priority capital projects to the benefit of the whole of the District, due to the impact of that investment on the Council’s borrowing limits.
