Delivering the Lowfield Scheme

Purpose of the Report: To present proposals back to Executive in line with the Executive decision of 7th December 2016, to seek a developer/s or alternatively for the Council to undertake development for housing of approximately 8 acres on the Lowfield Site.

Members will be asked to: To consider proposals to deliver housing on the Lowfield site as part of the Housing Delivery programme which will be considered at the same Executive meeting.

 

Regulation 5 and 10 notices as to why it has not been possible to give 28 clear days’ notice of the intention to make the Key Decision or the intent to hold part of a meeting in private have been posted, but in summary, it has not been possible to give 28 clear days’ notice of the intention to make the Key Decision for the following reasons:-

 

Proposals to deliver the Lowfields scheme were originally contained within the report on the Housing Delivery Programme due to be considered on the same agenda. It is necessary to separate the report to give Executive the opportunity to separate the strategic direction in the Housing Delivery Programme report from the specific delivery proposals within the Lowfields report.

 

The Lowfields report will contain confidential financial information regarding the delivery of the scheme which could prejudice the financial interests of the council were it to be published.   

 

The Lowfields scheme needs to be considered on the same agenda as the broader report.
