quarterly report detailing progress on the City Council’s new housing
development programme.
Decision

i.
Noted the continued progress on the delivery of the approved
housing programme.

Scrutiny
Considerations
The Committee received a report from the Assistant Director Development (Places Group). It was noted
that a correction was required to section 11 of the report; the East Barnwell
report would be brought to the November Housing Scrutiny Committee.
The Assistant Director Development (Places Group) said the following in
response to Members’ questions:
i.
Would check if the redevelopment at St Thomas Road
comprised 7 or 8 houses and if the property on the corner was included within
the redevelopment.
ii.
Reference was made to the risk register in section
10 of the officer’s report and advised that since a final decision had not been
approved for Ekin Road there was no scheme against which a risk rating for
re-housing residents could be given. Other schemes had already had tenants
re-housed elsewhere that was why the risk had been assessed as low.
iii.
Officers had written to residents and commercial
tenants regarding the East Barnwell community centre. There had been a delay to
ensure that due diligence regarding finances had been undertaken. It was hoped
that a planning application would be submitted in November.
iv.
Officers hoped to be able to provide further
information regarding the nursery in the East Barnwell report going which was
due to go to the November Housing Scrutiny Committee.
The Committee resolved by 7 votes to 0 to endorse the recommendation.
The Executive Councillor
approved the recommendation.
Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Executive Councillor (and any
Dispensations Granted)
No conflicts of interest
were declared by the Executive Councillor.
