Decision details
Ending the Initial Period for Northolt Tenants
Decision Maker: Director for Housing, Regeneration and Planning
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
It is recommended that the Director of
Housing, Regeneration and Planning end the Initial Period provided
for in the Broadwater Farm Rehousing and Payments Policy, section
2.1.1 with the effect that all further rehousing of tenants at
Northolt and the three mobility restricted tenants from the
adjoining wing of Stapleford will be by direct offer, and such
offers will be their final offer of alternative accommodation in
accordance with that policy.
Reasons for the decision:
To enable the swift rehousing of the remaining
tenants to allow the demolition of Northolt, and its replacement,
as early as practicable.
Alternative options considered:
The option to continue the Initial Period of
CBL was rejected because the remaining residents have failed to
find a new home using CBL within the past year. Further, in the
light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lead Member for Housing
suspended CBL on 7 April 2020, so it would not be appropriate to
make an exception from this for these remaining tenants.
