The site was approved by Cabinet on 14 September 2016 for transfer to WV Living as part of the Phase 1 sites detailed in the Business Plan for WV Living.
A planning application was submitted in December 2016 by City of Wolverhampton Council. The site is proposed for 40 new residential properties which will include affordable housing required under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The Local Planning Authority subsequently advised that they require an alternative mechanism to secure Section 106 obligations due to the Council being landowner at the time that the planning consent will be granted which means that there cannot be a S106 Agreement effected. An approval to dispose of the site to WV Living only is required to protect delivery of S106 obligations.
Delivery of this site is a key component of WV Living’s Business Plan relating to development of the Phase 1 sites as approved by Cabinet on 22 February 2017. This decision needs to be taken before the requisite 28 days have elapsed in order to meet WV Living’s Business Plan requirements.
