Decision details

Having considered an officer report, and a presentation by the Cabinet

Member for Housing, Councillor Paul Bell, the Mayor and Cabinet agreed that:

(1) the strategy to revise the scheme for new housing at Bampton Estate be

endorsed in response to comments raised during the planning process for the

previous scheme for 50 new over 60s housing units (Planning Application

reference DC/18/106504) submitted in March 2018.

(2) approval be given to submit a new planning application for a revised

scheme, noting the reduction from 50 to 39 homes and the change from over

60s sheltered homes to over 55s general needs housing.

(3) the 39 new homes will be social rented housing let to over 55s at London

Affordable Rent levels.

(4) planning application DC/18/106504 be withdrawn once the new application

for 39 homes has been validated.

(5) the Section 105 Consultation undertaken in 2017 remains valid and that

the changes to the scheme do not necessitate a repeat of this consultation.

(6) the development of a local lettings plan that will give priority to Northmoor

tenants, if they would like to move into the new homes and downsizing

tenants living on the Bampton Estate be approved.
