2. Update on The Harlequin Theatre Building
A survey to investigate the RAAC further is being jointly commissioned by the Council and head leaseholder, Aviva. The work will include intrusive inspections and will start week commencing 23 September 2024.
The first phase of the survey will determine the extent of the areas that will need to be opened up for inspection. This will inform the indicative programme for the survey completion and when we might expect to receive a report on the findings.
Given the age of the building, it is also prudent for the Council to commission a full building condition survey. This survey will be carried out in October after the RAAC survey has been completed and while we await the final RAAC report.
Once the final RAAC and building condition survey reports have been issued, which is currently anticipated to be by 15 November, we will have an indicative understanding of the likely costs of any remediation.
Before any decisions are taken, Councillors will need to have the opportunity consider the scale, costs and implications of the work.
