Affordable housing commuted sum dispute – Tadcaster Road, York

24/01/2017 - Affordable Housing Commuted Sum Dispute

Resolved:

 

(i)           That the proposals to pursue legal action against the developer as necessary, including arrangements for the Assistant Director of Housing and Community Safety, in consultation with the Assistant Director of Legal & Governance to apply delegated powers to reach a final negotiation within the best interests of the Council be endorsed.

 

(ii)          That officers proceed to negotiate a settlement within the best possible interest of the Council for this long running dispute subject to the further formal approval of the Executive Leader (incorporating Housing & Safer Neighbourhoods) and that the final settlement figure be formally presented at a future Executive Leader (incorporating Housing & Safer Neighbourhoods) Decision Session.

 

Reason:  To protect the authority’s position in relation to developers honouring their obligations under Section 106 Agreements and ensure the authority maximises its position regarding commuted sums.
