DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST MADE FOR THIS ITEM:

None

RESOLVED:

That the Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning (Deputy Leader):

1.    Approved, pursuant to the Council’s Standing Orders (CSO) 2.01.1C and in line with the CSO Statement of Principles 0.08, the appointment of Contractor A, identified in the exempt part of the report, to enter into a JCT Design and Build 2016 Contract with Haringey’s amendments.

2.    Approved the use of the Council’s powers under Section 203 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 to override easements and other third?party rights and interests infringed upon by the Dawlish and Scales Roads development.

3.    Approved entering the contract at the contract sum set out in the Dawlish and Scales Roads Exempt Report.

4.    Approved, pursuant to CSO 16.04, the issuance of a letter of intent as set out in the Dawlish and Scales Roads Exempt Report.

5.    Approved the contingencies and on?costs associated with the delivery of the scheme.

6.    Delegated authority to the Delivery Director, after consultation with the Director of Finance and Resources and the Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning, to make payments of compensation for genuine claims of third?party rights affected by the Dawlish and Scales Roads development and payable under the relevant approval within the existing scheme of delegation.

Reasons for the decision:

The site known as Dawlish and Scales Roads had been approved by Cabinet on 21 January 2020 for inclusion in the Council’s Housing Delivery Programme.

Planning permission had been granted in March 2023 for two new houses under planning reference HGY/2022/2000.

These Council homes would contribute to the Council’s commitment to build 3,000 new high?quality Council homes by 2031.

Alternative options considered:

The option not to develop the site for housing purposes had been considered but was rejected, as it would not have supported the Council’s commitment to deliver a new generation of Council homes.

The build contract had been procured via the approved London Construction Programme (LCP) Dynamic Purchasing System, as recommended by the Strategic Procurement Team. The alternative options—procurement via a restricted tender, a competitive tender on the open market, or another procurement route—were not recommended, as they were not considered to provide the best value.

The Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning was asked to approve the appointment of the recommended contractor to build two detached Council homes—a three?bed, five?person house and a two?bed, three?person house—on the corner of Dawlish and Scales Roads, N17 9HP.
