Revenue Implications:- Virement Implications:- no implications This budget is proposed to be rephased to 2027/28. Planning permission has been secured and the project is progressing through detailed design, building warrant approvals and site investigations. Due to the complexity of delivering works within an operational school environment, including the need to minimise disruption to pupils and staff, the construction programme and associated expenditure are now expected to fall predominantly within 2027/28. The rephasing aligns the budget with the revised delivery programme and anticipated expenditure profile. Source of Funding: no implications Additional project life expenditure of £223k is required, comprising £205k of increased project costs and £18k of associated expenditure adjustments identified through the latest Budgetary Control Review. Corresponding adjustments have been made to ensure the project budget accurately reflects the anticipated outturn and full life cost of the project. Source of Funding: Currently no implications as no additional capital funding is being requested. Currently no implications as no additional capital funding is being requested. There are ongoing enquiries with the service over how this overspend has to be managed and funded with an update being brought to Council in the P5 Capital BCR in October. Early indications are that Shared Prosperity Funding will be used to cover this overspend.
