Report of the Head of Estate Regeneration seeking approval to exercise the delegation to purchase a small car dealership and flat in Northam Road with grant funding from PUSH.
The Estate Regeneration Programme was approved by Cabinet on 24th November 2008 to commence a programme of consultation and engagement with residents and stakeholders on the sites selected of underused shopping parades and associated flats, in order to identify a programme of sites for redevelopment. These projects, whilst providing important estate regeneration benefits, would also be part of wider more comprehensive change.
This report seeks authority to acquire, where terms can be agreed, parcels of land which it would be desirable to incorporate within the potential regeneration sites now where Cabinet has given approval for consultation with residents to ensure these opportunities are not missed. These properties will be let out on a short term basis providing the council with a fairly modest rental income pending site redevelopment.
