Issue - meetings

This report has two appendices which contain information exempt within the meaning of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act1972 and are not for publication. The appendices have therefore been circulated to Cabinet Members only.

Any discussions on the contents of an exempt appendix will require Cabinet to pass the proposed resolution identified at the end of the agenda to exclude members of the public and the press from the proceedings for that discussion.

Councillor Andrew Jones stated that the acquisition of the adjoining site to the White City Estate area would provide the opportunity to develop and deliver genuine affordable housing.

RESOLVED:

1.            To agree to delegate authority to the Strategic Director of Growth & Place in consultation with the Cabinet Member for the Economy and the Arts, the Cabinet Member for Housing and the Assistant Director of Legal and Democratic Services, to negotiate with the NHS Property Services and finalise any legal documents necessary to complete the purchase of the site.

2.            To acquire the White City Health Centre and note that the initial valuation set out in the exempt Appendix 2 is subject to further negotiations. The authority to commit to this budget to purchase the site is partly from the existing approved capital budget for Decent Neighbourhood Schemes.

3.            To approve an addition to the Capital Programme Decent Neighbourhood Schemes to be funded from RtB 1-4-1 receipts and borrowing in respect of this purchase.
