Decisions:
Cllr Peter Bilson presented an update report
on the delivery of Phase 2 of the small sites new build programme
using the Strategic Construction Partners (SCP) Wates and United
Living. A planned development of a
third phase of small site development was proposed, which would be
delivered by contractors to be procured through a competitive
tendering process, intended to encourage small and medium sized
enterprises to participate.
Resolved:
- That the allocation of £4.0
million from the approved Housing Revenue Account (HRA) capital
budget for the New Build Programme to deliver the Small sites new
build phase 3 be approved.
- That any variation from the
identified sites and allocation of budget for Phase 3 of the small
site new build be delegated to the Cabinet Member for Housing and
City Assets, in conjunction with the Strategic Director of Housing
and Director of Finance to maintain the delivery timescale of
newbuild housing across the small sites.
- That it be noted that the next five
sites for the Housing Revenue Account small sites development
programme for the delivery of new build council housing would be
delivered using local contractors procured through a competitive
tendering exercise.
- That it be noted that one site would
be used to pilot the delivery of new homes using modular
construction methods to establish the benefits of this alternative
delivery approach in terms of cost, quality and speed of
delivery.
