The report for this item is public. However Appendix 7b contains information regarding the negotiations and the proposed or potential courses of action and are currently exempt from publication by virtue of Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. It is considered on balance that the public interest would not be served by publishing the information as it could prejudice the proposed development.

The Executive resolved as follows:

1. To agree that Appendix 7b – Estimated construction costs of the new development is not for publication by virtue of Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

2. That the Council bids to Homes England for capital grant to help fund the construction of new Council homes for Affordable Rent at Troutbeck Crescent.

3. That the Council procures a building contractor to construct new Council homes at Troutbeck Crescent, and that subject to grant funding being made available and planning approval received, authority is given to the Head of Legal to enter into a design and build contract for a cost not exceeding the sum set out in Appendix 7b, to the Executive report.

4. To grant delegated authority to the Head of Legal to authorise the relevant legal documents to progress the scheme including to the de-designation of the public open space on the site.
