Slippage/Variations/Reason for Withdrawal: Decision date amended from 16 April 2013 to 21 May 2013 as the project is subject to the outcome of a funding application to Sport England. Confirmation of the outcome of the bid has yet to be received and it is thought preferable to have clarity on how much, if any, funding has been secured before asking Cabinet to make a decision.
