(Report of the Director of Place and Sustainability. To be introduced by the Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Social Inclusion). The report seeks approval of the appropriation of land for planning purposes to enable the site to be redeveloped for Extra Care Supported Housing in accordance with the Council’s regeneration objective for the area.

Cabinet considered a report, introduced by the Cabinet Member for Finance and Carbon Reduction, which sought approval for land at Protheroe House, Chesnut Road, Tottenham (currently held for housing purposes) to be appropriated for planning purposes. This would enable the site to be redeveloped for Extra Care Supported Housing, in accordance with the Council’s regeneration objectives for the area.

RESOLVED:

That the appropriation of land at Protheroe House, Chesnut Road, Tottenham, N17 (currently held for housing purposes) and as shown edged in red on the appended plan to the report, reference 2363a, for planning purposes under Section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972, be approved.

Alternative Options Considered

Not appropriate – if the appropriation is not carried out there is a risk that the proposed re-development scheme may be frustrated by third party rights, which would in turn frustrate the Council’s regeneration objectives for this site.

Reasons for Decision

Appropriation of the site for planning purposes will facilitate the development of extra care housing in line with the Council’s previous Cabinet decision of 16 October 2012 by ensuring that the re-development is not frustrated by third party rights.
