Minutes:

The Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Housing and Estate Renewal introduced this report which sought authority to acquire properties (“the Properties”) on Woodside Avenue. The properties would form part of the proposed Cranwood Site for new housing. The two Properties were known as 104 Woodside Avenue, London N10 3JA and 106 Woodside Avenue, London N10 3JA. Acquiring these properties would enable the Council to continue with its plans for a housing scheme which will deliver new social rented housing in the west of the borough, where there is currently a severe shortage of social rented homes.
