On 11th July 2017, a report to Cabinet (New
Build Council Housing) approved the council to proceed with new
build schemes. The Director of Neighbourhood Services &
Resources (Subsequently the responsibility of the Director of
Economic Growth) was given delegated powers to proceed with
additional new build schemes for affordable rent using the
investment fund allocation (£17.7m).
Following a serious incident a block of 4 apartments suffered
extensive damage and became structurally unsound. It was deemed the
most cost effective and efficient option was to demolish and
reinstate with two family houses using funding from the
Council’s insurance policy with the shortfall being supported
by the investment fund.
Implementation date of 15 January 2019.
