Minutes: The report sought approval from the Cabinet Member for Council Housebuilding, Placemaking, and Development to appoint the recommended contractor to construct, on Council land at the former Car Park, Kerswell Close, N15 5RP, twenty five new Council homes for Council rent consisting of nine one-bedroom flats, twelve two-bedroom flats, three three-bedroom flats and one four-bedroom flat with one Ground Floor three -bedroom and one Ground Floor four – bedroom flat being fully accessible for wheelchair-users (“the Kerswell Close development”). In addition the development would have an Office Hub capable of use by the Adult Social Services Team to support vulnerable Tenants in the wider area. The new Homes would be let at London Affordable Rents.
In order to facilitate this, the Cabinet Member for Council Housebuilding, Placemaking, and Development was asked to approve use of the Council’s powers to appropriate the land for planning purposes which would permit the Council to utilise the statutory powers to override easements and any other third party rights and interest, to allow the development to proceed in accordance with the planning permission.
Following on from a formal procurement exercise, the Cabinet Member for Council Housebuilding, Placemaking, and Development was asked to approve the appointment of Bidder 1 to deliver these new Council homes on vacant land.
The Cabinet Member RESOLVED
1. To approve the award of a contract to Bidder 1 as stated in the attached Exempt Report to undertake building works to provide a total of twenty-five Council rented homes at Kerswell Close for a total contract sum and approves the client contingency sum both of which were set out in the exempt part of the report.
2. To approve the appropriation of the land at Kerswell Close highlighted in the red line boundary plan attached at Appendix 1 from car parking purposes to planning purposes under Section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972 as it was no longer required for the purpose which it is currently held, and for the purpose of carrying out development as set out in this report.
3. To approve 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 which may be affected by the Kerswell Close development, under planning permission Ref: HGY/2022/2250.
4. To delegate to the Director of Placemaking and Housing, after consultation with the Director of Finance and the Cabinet Member for Council Housebuilding, Placemaking, and Development, authority to make payments of compensation as a result of any genuine claims of third party rights affected by the Kerswell Close development and payable as a result of recommendation 2.2, within the existing scheme of delegation.
5. Approve the appropriation of the land at Kerswell Close (edged red in the boundary plan attached at Appendix 1) from planning purposes back to housing purposes under Section 19 of the Housing Act 1985, after practical completion of the development schedule in December 2023.
