Decision Maker: Mayor and Cabinet
Decision status: For Determination
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
The Cabinet accepted this as a late and urgent item as the report was not
available for the original dispatch because negotiations with the parties to the
Development Agreement have been on-going on the proposed variations
outlined in the report and key information relating to the report had only just
been received. The report was urgent and could not wait until the next
meeting of Mayor & Cabinet on 2 October 2013 because the Homes and
Community Agency (HCA) were making a decision on 13 September 2013
whether to provide further funding in the region of £17-£20m to the Scheme
from their Get Britain Building Fund. The programme required a start on site in
November 2013, a key milestone to the achievement of which is Mayor &
Cabinet approval being obtained to the matters outlined in the report.
Having considered a confidential officer report, and a presentation by the
Deputy Mayor, the Cabinet in the absence of the Mayor:
RESOLVED that
|
(i) the proposed amendments to the Development Agreement contained in the draft Heads of Terms be noted;
|
|
(ii) authority be delegated to the Executive Director for Resources & Regeneration, in consultation with the Director of Regeneration & Asset Management and the Head of Law, to negotiate and agree the final Heads of Terms and the terms of the amendments to the Development Agreement and Landowners Agreement that may be necessary to secure the delivery of the Lewisham Gateway Development Scheme, including authority to agree to any necessary extension of the existing long stop date of 31 December 2013;
|
|
(iii) the acquisition for planning purposes under Section 227 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 of the land owned by the Greater London Authority/GLA Land and Property Limited shown, on a freehold basis, be approved; and
|
|
(iv) the acquisition for planning purposes under Section 227 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 of any of the other land owned by the Greater London Authority/GLA Land and Property Limited shown, required for infrastructure areas on a leasehold basis, be approved. |
