Decision Maker: Overview and Performance Scrutiny Forum
Made at meeting: 21/11/2019 - Overview and Performance Scrutiny Forum
Decision published: 08/01/2020
Effective from: 21/11/2019
The Thornfield Mews development at Canal Wharf
was identified as being at risk of stalling. A number of options
were considered to ensure that the development continued. This
included the purchase of two properties already nearing completion
(a separate officer decision has been submitted for this) but in
order to ensure all phases of the development took place and
sufficient RTB 141 expenditure was spent the Housing Service
explored the opportunity to buy all six properties that make up
phase 1B of the development. The purchase of these properties will
provide the developer with the capital to build out Phase 2 of the
development.
Rather than buying “off plan” in the usual way, CBC
will purchase the undeveloped / partially developed land and the
developer will enter into a development Agreement to build the
houses. In practical terms this is the same as the developer
building the house and CBC buying it off him, but it helps with
cashflow and allows CBC to fund the development in stages whilst
CBCs investment is protected as it has title to the land.
This approach has been checked by the Monitoring Officer who
advised:
'In the circumstances I consider that the existing authority to
purchase is sufficient.'
The existing authority referred to is that under the Housing
Acquisitions Policy.
The price agreed for all six properties is £1,054,320m
(@£175K each).
The properties have been run through the Strategic Acquisitions
Calculator and are cost effective.
Decision Maker: Assistant Director - Housing
Decision published: 08/01/2020
Effective from: 23/12/2019
Decision:
Option 1 - To purchase the land and enter into
a development agreement for the six properties comprising Phase 1B
of the Thornfield Mews Development. This will ensure that the
developer has the capital to complete phase 2 of the development
and increase housing development numbers in the Borough.
The need to ensure that RTB141 receipts are spent before March 2020
and there is not any requirement to return monies to Government.
The risk in delaying to find alternative scheme could put the money
at risk.
