If the SRF/Masterplan is approved, does it mean that the Mayfield Campus development will definitely go ahead?
The development of the SRF/Masterplan is an important part of the Feasibility Study stage, in terms of demonstrating that it is possible to deliver a high quality campus on the Mayfield site capable of accommodating 5,000 civil servants. As such, it sets out what it is intended to deliver on the site should the project proceed. The decision on whether the Campus development will proceed depends on the results of the Feasibility Study, which will consider a number of other important aspects as well as the Masterplan. These include the benefits of the project, its likely costs and any issues that may impact on delivery. When the study is completed and the results analysed a final decision will be made on whether to proceed. The Feasibility Study is due to be completed by the end of 2009.
