Cabinet considered a report
that sought approval to use Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) powers
to progress the assembly of land required for the Northumberland
Park Project.
It was noted that on 16
November 2010 Cabinet had made an ‘in principal’
decision to use a CPO to support the development of the
Northumberland Development Project (NDP) scheme and that the report
sought approval to execute this power.
RESOLVED:
- That it be agreed
that, as set out in the report at paragraph 5.8, the pre-conditions
for compulsory purchase set by Cabinet on 16 November 2010 have now
been met by THFC.
- That a Compulsory
Purchase Order should be made to acquire all land and rights within
the Site shown edged red on the plan in Appendix 1 for planning
purposes pursuant to Sections 226 of the Town and Country Planning
Act 1990 (as amended), to enable Tottenham Hotspur Football Club
(THFC) to build its new football stadium in Tottenham along with
associated development supporting regeneration.
- That it be noted that
THFC shall continue to seek to negotiate and acquire all necessary
land and rights by agreement from the date of the resolution (if
this is decided), until the Council considers it reasonable to make
the Order.
- That delegated
authority be granted to the Head of Corporate Property Services, in
consultation with the Head of Legal Services and the Chief
Financial Officer to agree the costs of the CPO to be paid by THFC,
and only following the receipt of payments from THFC, to settle and
complete the acquisition of the land interests of all owners,
tenants, occupiers and others with a legal interest affected by the
Scheme and who are included in the “London Borough of
Haringey (Northumberland Development Project) Compulsory Purchase
Order 2012”.
- That delegated
authority to granted to the Head of Legal Services, in consultation
with the Chief Financial Officer and Head of Corporate Property
Services to prepare and implement the London Borough of Haringey
(Northumberland Development Project) Compulsory Purchase Order 2012
and preparation for and representation at a public inquiry if one
is held.
- That it be noted that
a separate report to Cabinet is on this Agenda which concerns
entering into a Land Agreement with THFC if Cabinet resolves to
make a Compulsory Purchase Order, and that the CPO
resolution in paragraph 3.2 is subject to a Land Agreement, which
includes a further indemnity agreement, being entered into, and an
appropriate parent company guarantee, Bond or cash equivalent
payment being provided by THFC by an agreed date which shall not be
later than the date of notice by the Council to THFC that it
intends to acquire the interests and rights under a
CPO.
- That it be noted that
a further report will be presented to Cabinet, in due course,
dealing with the use of the Council’s S.237 of the Town and
Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) land appropriation powers in
respect of the Order land and the conversion of rights of property
neighbouring the Northumberland Development Project Scheme to
rights of compensation, in order to implement the
scheme.
